Do you mean the part being fabricated in this video?

If so, it's a Yoke Bracket Assembly, part no. 502275, and not available as far as I know.

I notice that in a four year old comment beneath the video, Skip Campbell at MKC Tools had made some and had them in stock. I couldn't find them listed on his site, but you could give him a call.

The video show how to fabricate one out of a piece of cutting board plastic in about 10 minutes.
I have a brand new OEM part on a NOS Jig Saw I bought last week and was thinking of making one of those due to the age of the plastic.
