Do any of you fellows know the source of spare parts for those epson scanners in the UK, or elswhere?

Contacted and talked to.
But sadly, they do not ship their things outside US country due to their epson`s contract policy.

Did you inquire about a Euro distributor? Epson may be able to direct you as well with an email inquiry.

I use a Umax 4x5 holder in my 4990. It's built better and is more sturdy than the Epson holder. I don't know about buying from Poland but if I were buying one I'd go here:

You might also try a “homemade” holder – the one I use is better than the Epson holder that came with my 4990.
Even if you’re committed to Epson holders, you can make a holder of your own while you search, order & wait for replacements.
You can simply use a piece of store-bought, anti-glare glass, tape the film to its underside, and use various things to support the glass (and adjust its height) above the scanner’s surface – post-it note pads, pennies, etc.
If you try this, you might like it, and decide to cancel that order!
