Di-Acro parts are scarce as hens teeth. I am not aware of any 
aftermarket manufacturers.
Di-Acro themselves are just hanging on by a thread- with 50 dollar 
harbor freight benders, its a tough sell trying to get people to buy 
new No. 2's for 2 grand or so.
They have all the parts made to order now- there is no backstock of 
these parts.
You might just have to invest in a mill and a lathe, and you can make 
your own tooling.

There are a couple of other companies that make Hossfeld parts, but not 
Di-Acro.
