They are not available through any supply company that I am aware of.
 Nor -- unless they have changed their ways -- are they available from
Baldwin.

What you do is make them.  From brass stock of appropriate thickness and
width.  You cut it to length using a hack saw and file it to shape.  You
don't need to include the locating tab.  You can position them by hand.
(For more than a few, you go to a machine shop, but for just two this
doesn't take all that much time.)
