Allparts (www.allparts.com) offers two distinct Gibson-style vibrolas, both the plain style as found on SG Specials and Melody Makers as well as the fancier version with the big plate as seen on the SG Standard (this is the one that the LE G-400 has):

Note that the Allparts units are nickel-plated (not chrome) so they won't quite match the existing G-400 hardware and they don't have the lyre engraving since that is a Gibson-proprietary design, plus they are not what I would call 'inexpensive'. Here are the part numbers:

 

TP 3683-001 (simple version)

TP 3680-001 (fancy version)
