Wobble in the rudder

My 1967 Ericson 30 is a great sailing boat but now has been sidelined due to a rudder issue. The location where the rudder post exits the hull is missing one half of a two part casting which clamps and stabilizes the post just before it enters the rudder. The slop is wicked when I grab hold of the bottom of the rudder and wiggle. Does anyone know of a source for this two part casting? I would like to have in hand before haulout this January.
