I've never seen any for sale.  I've converted such a beast myself using
some bits of sheet metal and some pop rivits.  Just bend the metal
approriately, drill holes in the the right places, and use pop rivits to
fastent hem in.  Before that, drill some holes to accommodate the drive
mounting screws - otherwise the drives will float around in there.

Since I had both the sheet metal and the rivets hanging around the
garage, total cost was 
'nothin'...
