T bar on mast

Sorry, but i have no idea what the real name for this is. I'm pretty new to all of this and trying to figure it out. I'm also not sure if this is Triton specific, but I figured it would be a good place to start.
There is a T bar attached to my mast that the boom can slide up and down. It was super beat up and bent way out of shape so I decided to replace it. When I took it off it ended up breaking into three separate pieces and I broke off one of the screws, so there is no way I can reuse it. I went to every nearby marina to buy a new one but all anyone can order (let alone has in stock) is 1" wide. The piece I removed is 7/8". I've put a picture in at the end of the post to help you see what I'm talking about.
My question is if anyone knows a good source to get a replacement. I was hoping to have it for the weekend so we could go sailing, but that doesn't seem like it is going to happen right now. I suppose I could put 1" on instead, but then I would have to replace the piece that fits over it as well. No idea what that is called either.
Thanks in advance for any help.
