Source for this Isomat mast tang?

The baby stay is missing on my 1986 Beneteau First 405. I've determined that the tang (also missing) is similar to the one in the attached photo. Anyone know where I might find this part?

I know the Rig Rite site carries parts for Isomat masts - maybe they'll have it.

Happen to have an email address for them? I searched their site but didn't find any way of contacting them besides by phone. I read some mixed reviews for RigRight so am also looking for other sources.

Would this be the one?>>>K-11999X Forestay / Staysail Tangs

Rig-rite has always done right by me. As long as you have the part # and fill out the order form, you'll get your stuff in a reasonable amount of time.

No that's not it, but there was a link on that page that sent me in the right direction. The part is called a "Round Stemball Backing Shell Tangs" and is at the top of this page: Stemball Backing Shell Tangs

Thanks! Now all I have to do is verify the size and hope it's available to order.

Sorry about the delay responding to your question prof. I don't have an email address for Rig Rite, but like delmarrey, I've had no issues in my dealings with them. Hope you find the part your looking for!

I'll defintely give RigRite a try. Thanks for the feedback.
