The Roadster Factory claims to check theirs, and that they are higher
quality, if you have a late GT6 they are really cheap.

As an aside when I rebuilt my tranny I used new synchro cups, I had trouble
with 2nd gear, I ended up having a shop repair it, before I did that I took
it apart myself and had looked at the 2nd gear synchro with a former BL
mechanic and we agreed it was out of spec (after maybe 2500 miles). He
suggested I use the best of what came off before the rebuild, suggesting
that 4th gear synchros didn't see much wear.
Anyway, that is what I had the (local, non specialist) tranny shop use in
rebuilding the tranny, the guy thought I was crazy using the old part,
apparently was not familiar with the sometimes poor quality of certain
reproduction parts for old LBCs.
