As others have stated I am sure that VA6AM can make a 80/40 duplexer for you
however the easiest approach would be to just run another feedline to your
fan dipole.

I'm investigating upgrading my station from its present 500W capability 
to 1500W. I've located sources for most of the up-rated bandpass filters 
and other hardware required for the project, but can't seem to find a 
source for a duplexer to split a 80-40 dipole for SO2R use. I'm 
presently using one of the Low Band Systems 500W 80/40/20 triplexers for 
this function. LBS apparently makes a 1500W 80/40 duplexer, but it 
appears the LBS stuff is no longer available in the USA. Does anyone 
have or know of a suitable 1500W unit? I do NOT need it to be rated for 
100% duty cycle since I'm only interested in CW and occasional SSB use, 
but it needs to hold up under contest conditions with a full power 
amplifier.

4O3A makes a nice 20/15/10 triplexer, but they don't have any high power 
80/40 units. Antennas-Amplifiers (distributed by DX Engineering) makes 
nice HP bandpass filters, but not a triplexer or duplexer. VA6AM (also 
distributed by DX Engineering) doesn't have any high power devices.
