Try http://www.steebar.com they carry clock parts.
You could also try:
http://www.klockit.com
http://www.slarose.com
http://www.colonialtimes.com
http://www.murrayclock.com
One of them probably has what you are looking for

If you've checked all the above links, you've discovered they all sell pretty much the same thing, none which will fit your needs. I'm sure there is someopne out there who makes nice clock parts, but I haven't yet found them. Perhaps you can find a local artist who works in copper to do the job for you, or you might try tackeling the job yourself. (I believe the clock pictured on the back of this month's FW has a dial which the maker constructed himself.)

Perhaps somebody over at the Society of Period Furniture Makers would know of a supplier, or have some suggestions.
