[Paddlewise] Where old kayaks go to die

just wondering where i might go to find hardware for a long out of production boat?
  
Specifically, I'd like to retrofit a rudder onto an old plastic kayak that I got for what it is worth, free. It is  probably an Aquaterra Sea Lion, no markings say sea lion but descriptions seem to fit. The stern comes to a point, no flat spots to mount rudders the way I usually would see them.. I've seen how a rudder is installed on a 'glass Sea Lion, it is a sleeve that fits around the point. So any ideas where I might find such a piece of hardware, or a workaround?
   
  Thanks
