Ahoy Douglas,
Just a note of slightly baffeled sympathy. Most global sailors are their own riggers and find, fabricate or jury-rig whatever they need.
I don't know if your problems are Singapore-related - like import duties or customs or shipping issues that most US and European dealers don't deal with. Why not get some suitable aluminum tube an use your old end-fittings or even make something novel of wood, at least to get to a more yacht oriented port in Australia or something?
Anyway,
Fair winds & G'luck
