Have you tried speedgrapic, they have loads of stuff for photography and I have used them on several occasions. Very reliable, very fast and best of all cheap too. You can contact them for a full colour brochure or you can browse their catalogue as a .pdf online. Still can't order online yet, which is a bit of a pain, I usually phone them with my details. You will not be dissapointed with them. And no I don't work for them :o
This is a link to their home page:
http://www.speedgraphic.co.uk/home.html
You can navigate to filters by hitting the 'Products' button.
If you read on the side they state about graduated ND filters, but I can't see them :confused: Unless they mean the Graduated grey, see what you can find, there is so much to see!
They do ship worldwide too.

Buy two linear polarizers and you have a variable ND filter.

You can leave one where it is and spin the other; as the angles they're polarizing at approach 90* the light they let through will go to zero .. however, that won't be a Grad ND, it'll be constant over the whole filter, i think...

Although the polarizer is designed to reduce glare a side effect is a 2 F-stop reduction. By stacking 2 Linear Polarizer you can dial in the amount of light on the pair from standard 2 stops to pitch black. This is not graduated which divides the filter into two sections: 0 F-stop to 2 or 4 f-stops depending on the model.
