1973 Stratocaster Neck ?? Help!!!

I have a '73 three bolt Strat neck that is missing the round metal insert plate that holds the neck to the body. Is this part reproduced and where can I get either a repro or an original? Thanks

Do you mean the neck plate or the insert that is bolt onto the neck itself with two screws ?
I believe you can find some repro nowadays if not i probly have a few original ones and some I had made at the workshop but I won t be able to send you one before two or three weeks tho

The latter has both parts - the three bolt neck plate as well as the Fender Tilt Disk Upper Neck not sure which you are looking for....

I mean the round insert in the neck itself used for the tilt adjustment and to receive the large bolt that holds the neck plate on along with the two other screws. I have the neckplate.

Thanks but I have the neckplate. The three bolt Strat necks have a round insert in the heel that acts as the platform for the tilt adjustment. This is what I need.
