Captfrank: Check with Marine Connection Liquidators in Ft. Pierce www.themarineconnection.net. I saw some 4-5 years ago when looking for something else. I have Lee Srs. on my boat and I recognized them in a bin they had.

Should be able to weld it and get it rechromed. More expensive than finding a used one but do-able.

I thought about that but it looks to be a casting which is almost impossible to weld (it's cracked at multiple places by screw holes). And it's broken at the mounting holes which is worse.

I assume a bronze casting. Very easy to weld and the weld will be strong. Something to consider if you just can't find one. TIG welding would be the first and best option.
