Anybody know where these can be had?

Many moons ago I needed a repair on a Yankee #130, another ancient
Stanley tool. I was able at that time to locate a fellow in
Bridgeport, Conn working for Stanley whose job it was to support these
olde hand tools. That department may or may not exist any longer. I
would try to look for your missing parts by finding a live person at
Stanley since your need is not in the main stream of requests that
they receive.

Actually, on a whim I did a search on eBay for fence stanley 78 plane
and found the exact thing. But thank you for the advice.

I was gonna suggest eBay... There is a LOT of traffic on Stanley planes and
parts up there, and your chances of finding oddball pieces like that are
actually better than you might expect.
