I believe Bristol Bronze (<a href="http://www.bristolbronze.com">http://www.bristolbronze.com</a>) has them.

However, I found that it was very easy to bend the threaded part of the all-bronze tunbuckles while raising and lowering the mast, because the fork is solid. I changed to stainless toggle forks, which have an extra degree of freedom of movement, and these work much better for me.
