However, since GW no longer sell the parts you need, I believe ethically you are in the clear. I also doubt anyone would be able to detect what you had done.
If you want to be totally in the clear, write to GW explaining your situation, and ask for permission to make your copies. They might manage to scare up a bundle of the parts you need rather than give you permission.

GW's Legal division pops out of the bushes and screams "APRIL FOOLS!"
