Or, for another place to look try browsing from this page:

http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_ta ... parts.html

Note that on the modern saddles which you want to replace the screw can enter the back of each saddle in a different position, depending on the model. You need to match like for like: if you have off-center adjustment screws you must find matching replacement saddles or don't go any further. Can't actually remember seeing vintage saddles with off-center screws, but they may exist...

Callaham now makes vintage style saddles for the American Strat 2 Point trem. Check there for info.
