F Atlee dodge makes them for 400$. They fit perfect.

The Atlee Dodge brace is also made of stainless and has not interferred with my compass at all.

Re: Seaplane Vee Brace
The tubing (3/4"dia., I think) on Atlee's V-brace is strong enough to use as a hand-hold for climbing into the plane without worrying about bending it like the standard Cessna V-brace will.
