Rohn part number 260004p.  The lowest price I saw was ~$100 and looks like list is $128.  And like you said, out of stock everywhere.
I'm not clear on where/how this gets used with the equalizer plate, but it seems there must be a better option. I'm surprised nobody has offered advice on that.
Good luck with the project.
