Bill,
It
appears that Banten, the manufacturing source for these
mounts, is in Italy.  However their website indicates that
they only sell through retailers.  They then fail to
indicate who their distributors are!  I am tempted to sign
up as a retailer. Perhaps you can find a local distributor
while you are still in Italy?  I am looking for sources of
both the ball mount and the mid-antenna rail clip (parts
00015 and 00020) online without success.  I don't need
them until November when I splash Brava again in Antigua.
 If you find a distributor I will gladly buy them off you
when you reach the Caribbean again.   Otherwise I need to
investigate alternatives.  
The Shakespeare mount and (rail
clip) that Gary Silver found may have the same size screw
threads (1 inch - 14 standard) to fit the base of the Banten
7 meter whip antenna but I will seek confirmation of that.
 I have brought the broken ball fitting back with me to
Massachusetts to attempt to find a match.  I'll let you
know if I am successful.
I would love to finally meet you and
Judy when you get to the Caribbean.  Between BeBe's
blog and your generous Amel group postings you have both
been very inspirational and a major factor in bringing me up
to speed.
