The bearing caps are machined at the factory  in place on the block due to
the
tight tolerances needed for the main  bearings. They cannot be swapped
between
blocks, and they must be installed  in the proper orientation. In short, if
your bearing cap is toast, you  cannot source a used one to replace it
without
extensive machining of the  cap and block to get it to fit. This is why they
are generally unavailable  as a replacement part.
Your best bet is to have your existing  bearing cap welded, and machined to
repair it. However, if you are doing  this, there is a good chance that after
all the machining and line boring  you will have more into it than a used
block
will cost. Consider replacing  the block with a used one from any of the
British  wrecking yards as  an alternative.

I am in need of a good used #4 main bearing cap for a late TR6.  Please
contact me off-list if you have one available.
