UC-61K FORWARDER RESTORATION HITS SNAG!

[UC61K]

Hi All
I have been restoring a WW2 USAAF & RAF veteran with a friend for the past 12+ years (weekends and holidays) It's a 1943 Fairchild UC-61K Forwarder (Military version of Fairchild F24)
We are 90% done and 90% to go. Through out the restoration 1 part has eluded us for over a decade. The PITOT TUBE!!!
This is a Kollsman Model 765 UC-61K part number 44213. We have been told these are identical to the Fairchild PT-19/-23//26 Pitot tubes (PT part number 65103)

UC-61K on display in Brussels Belgium:

I am a member of the Fairchild Club, and have been searching the world for one. A couple of PT probes pop up from time to time, but sell faster then I can dial the phone or email the owner.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

I have detailed pictures and manual prints that I can not post.

Certainly looks like the Pitot/Static on our PT-19. I haven't seen any around, but having worked around ours for a few years they're pretty simple and it shouldn't be too difficult to put one together anew.

Hi Yak3
That is our last resort. We would like to find an original one, but if the search dead-ends. then local manufacture will be our option.
thanks
