Interesting parts source for hard to find stuff:

I came across this catalog while googling. Yes, they do have half round and oval bar stock! Plus a whole lot of other goodies. Most is auto oriented, or for the antique powerboat restorers, but there's a lot of fairly priced hardware that would work on any boat. Worth a browse. Never done biz with them, but who knows?

"Hello... Restoration Supply?
I'd like to buy one of your 'White Cotton Helmets' on page 44. Size large, please.
And I also need a pair of 'Wide Heavy Nuts'. You see, I broke mine....
No, I wouldn't make a joke like that, Ma'am....
No, I don't know what page they're on....

Hello? Hello?"
