Mast head casting

Can anyone help? I have recently taken over 'Tilly' sail number 248 (1976) and need to locate a mast head casting, as the original is missing? At the moment the mast head is open?

Does anyone know where I can source a replacement

Thanks

Chris

I guess that will be an SSS mast, similar to that shown for a Reedcraft boat at:

Unfortunately, SSS went out of business many years ago, so you're probably best looking at boat jumbles and the like. I don't have the experience with other boats to know if the casting is a common one used on the mast of any other boat. Hopefully, others will have more helpful ideas.
