I'm not sure you're looking for the right thing.
this (http://cpc.farnell.com/_/25-106-3501-00/dichroic-gx5-3-bases-white-lead/dp/LA00290) is a fairly standard fitting, but it's rated to 50v. That's not a problem, as the lamps which fit it are 24v. I can see no reason why you'd need one rated to 750watts, as I know of no lamp with that rating which fits these holders.

Maplins sell them, ebay has loads and loads, they're not too hard to fing, just Google GX 5.3 lampholder.

Two points to bear in mind. One, as soon as the lamp seems to be a loose fit in the holder, or blows really quickly, fit a new holder. Straight away.
Two, the easiest way to fit them is to cut the existing wires in a handy place, and join them using something like this (http://cpc.farnell.com/_/354z/ceramic-terminal-block-10a-2-way/dp/CN02612), not the plastic ones, as some lighting fixtures get hot enough to melt the plastic ones.

Hope this helps.
