Hello to the group,  I am one of the new owners of the Helen K, a 30 Ultra , previously owned by Larry Koenig of Key Largo.  Currently I am replacing a stanchion and am looking for the original source for stanchions and stanchion supports.  Some of them have serious rust problems and one actually lost the nub at the top.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

If you do find a source please share.

Bill,
I wonder if there is someone like a plating shop that can restore your stanchions to like new if you can’t find an exact replacement. The rust must be surface rust. I always like to restore the tired old original stuff on my boat. 
Just a thought,

Bill,

I bought an exact match stanchion from Rig Rite: https://www.rigrite.com. I can't imagine they don't have the bases.

Thank you for your help and suggestions.  I replaced the broken stanchion with a used one that is slightly different from the original, but close enough.  I did need to have my machine shop drill a new hole for the angle support plus I needed their help in removing the old stanchion from the base and putting the new stanchion back into it.   It was more work than I anticipated, but that's life working on boats.

Mine was 25mm. Our hulls are not that far apart.

Fogh Boat Supplies list a 1” stanchion base made of cast stainless steel. It looks similar but I can’t say it is identical to yous. The price is
$46 Cdn so probably less than having the original brine basesre chromed.
