Curious about why the flat edge. Mistake in casting?

Hello all,
Have a little time. Here is a pic of my Beatty pivot for the tailbone. The matching piece is held together by a bolt with a flat edge.
Where would I get one?
Thanks

Thankyou

Thankyou for the measures. The place to buy steel is 30 miles away . I will be there in a month for dentist so will pick it up then. Still 6 bikes in the shop to fix and move out.
I noticed the mount is offset at front. Is that on purpose?

Perfect
No big hurry , putting a bunch of bikes away for the winter
got some wood to cut

Morning
Just to be clear i need measure for the frame the metal goes in . I know the one I saw way back was 1/2 inch angle but it is no longer available to get measures.

Thanks for the quik reply
Yes Tail vane
I have a repairable framework but i think I can make the vane. Just need the measures so it is the size to work and look right. Won't be too close to the road

Well hope to be at the 8 foot Beatty this winter. Would any of you be able to give me the measurements of the tailpiece. I have the tail bone. I can source some sheet metal local. Any idea what gage it is?
Thanks for your time

Thank you Peter
Every time I go near the mill parts I have another question or two
Hope i am not a pest
first the new bearing is not snug on the hub end. It is a new shaft. Anything wrong with using some blue lock tight to keep it from moving.?
And is there a torque load on the nut on the other end ...

Ok I am about to put a new shaft into a Beatty hub. How far should it protrude out the front? and should I heat and peen the edge over or tack it with braze or nicad rod?
thanks for the help
