Spinnaker pole thingy on mast

For lack of a better word that's what I'll call it. On my Buccaneer the hard plastic fitting where the spinnaker pole attaches to the mast is broken. The boat is a 1978 and I assume all things to be original to the year as there are none of the later improvements such as the magic box, higher mast step or any others I'm aware of. Is there a source for this fitting or does anyone have a spare lying around, perhaps off an old mast? Any info appreciated.

Thanks!

Vic

As far as I know it is called a spinaker pole, and it sounds like you need a spinaker pole ring (not trying to get to technical :P ) here is ,amazingly enough, a fair priced one at west marine
