I don't find anything in my couple year old catalog about international
sales from McMaster-Carr. They don't have a minimum order size or charge
and they ship to me overnight most of the time. They take plastic
(credit cards) but they do like to think they are selling to a business,
not an individual so you need a company name. I've always used my own
name and they accept that.

There ought to be Kiwi sources for similar parts, probably used in the
sheet metal industry or even automotive, maybe refrigeration, RV, or as
Dave Knepper says, stationary. I don't remember seeing this particular
part on a PM-2, for that matter I don't remember actually looking at a
PM-2 in the past 35 years. So I can't judge on dimension and color
match. But functionally, I'd think that thickness would be the prime
criteria, and width between 8mm and 1/2" would work just fine.
