I tried and failed to find one. Ended up making one out of a hardwood offcut.

Sort of thing you might get from Foulkes Chandlery Barge at Bursledon, Hants. Yes, I know it's a long way from you but it wouldn't be difficult for them, or some friendly forumite, to post one to you.

or try Robinson the compass adjuster in Hamble, even slightly further than the foulkes place mind!

If the grid you have as a flat grid plate on the top you have a compass based on the sestrel 4" lifeboat compass it was called a "medina" any gimbal system off of 4" sestrel will fit not much help I know but the part number you need is 5901 gimbal assy

Hi I also had this problem,
if it is as I suspect the wedge type you need I would make a wedge shaped holder using tufnol (look on e-bay for small pieces) I would use either carp or whale brand as these have good shear resistance you can cut it with a hack saw and use a normal carpenters plane to smooth the edges then attach to your boat with countersunk bolts or screws.
hope this helps
