Hi:
If you go to "Cape Dory Info" on this site, then click on "Where to Look, then "Parts and Supplies", then "Teak & Lumber", you'll find the address, etc. for Mystic Millwork. They can supply teak components for your Ty.
I think you'll find that sanding and refinishing your existing teak is by far the cheaper and faster alternative. Remember you'll have to attach the new parts by drilling and then plugging with teak plugs, which you'll have to sand smooth and then varnish or Cetol.
Search the archives for lots of teak refinishing help.
