Pete, I don't know where to get that attachment piece.  Tops In Quality 
made many of the original bow pulpits, so you might contact them.

I would be wary of making lifelines based on the measurements of another 
boat.  I used hand-crimp fittings on mine (see 
http://www.csjohnson.com/marinecatalog/00016.htm for the turnbuckles and 
http://www.csjohnson.com/marinecatalog/00019.htm item #2 for the tool). 
  I see that they have an attachment piece,(on page 16, upper right).

You can get these at many marine supply stores.
