If it is for mounting to your mount, then possibly you could use a Skywatcher dual style (Vixen & Losmandy) replacement saddle for about $60 as in the ebay advert below here, but be careful with the mounting collar base recess to your mount as there are two types as shown in the cross-section in the image attached. You obviously wouldn't want the wrong one and the advert I attached doesn't show that detail unfortunately.

Tried to get some more info from seller, but they do not know (??).

Does anybody have a drawing with dimensions of both styles, maybe it is possible to machine the "wrong"one into right shape?
