Has anyone seen or heard of collet blocks made to fit 3C collets? How hard/easy would it be to machine a set?

Seems like no one knows how to use google (or search engine of choice)??

2nd on page results "3c collet block"

Anywho, as others said should be easy enough to make, measure taper, cut taper, mill outside to whatever shape you want.
 
I have a set that came with a 9A lathe that I bought a while back. They look like they're shop made to me & look like typical 5C style.
I can post pictures if you wish.
