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.

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.

If Satanley can't help, try eBay.
