I can't help with any aftermarket, but the welder just made a bunch for the neighbor. 350ish for a jd one. Buy a new one to use as a template and get someone with the old school cutting torch tracer. Probably have to metric drill bits though. Should be 1/2" plate.

Is that a cast piece or simply a flat piece of iron as BW said I would be sourcing iron that is suitable for that type of use which may not be mild steel and I bet a fancy plasma cutter table could trace out a good sample piece and store that information and then hammer out a bunch of them if you need a few. I just don't know if such a thing is special and heat treated etc or a fairly basic type of mild or cold rolled steel. I think that is the key with something like plasma with a computer, its having the drawing to read off of and then the labour aspect drops right down vs someone hand making each and every one.

Be fair bit cheaper IMO to make them in two peices, large sized plate steel is insanely priced. With good gusseting and fishplating two peice be just as strong but certainly not as nice looking. Least then you could get away with smaller sizes of the initial plate size which would save you some big $$$$ www.kijiji.ca/v-farming-equipment/st-albert/john-deere-grapple-teeth/1534031150

I took a look at that ad AB and forgot how long/curved they are or at least the JD ones, not sure what the NH ones look like as that drawing probably isn't showing the amount of curve. I can see with the JD units that a two piece unit made from flat bar stock with probably a welded on gusset under or a bit thinner material used to bridge across by welding one on both sides below the joint elbow I'll call it might work. That would create an area for hay to maybe drape over the one style of gusset which might not be so nice ( hard to explain in words what I envision ) . If they were made a bit beefier I wonder if they would last a very long time and be worth the effort to make and replace them all of course so they match.

I will find out what the welder charged. I have to see him in the next day or two. Typically he is 20% less than the dealer plus better built. I just tell him to do what I need to be done and to be quite honest and don't question the bill. He is one of the very few that I can trust to do a good job and not screw me. He does enough work that carrying 1/2" plate is not a problem. Now I did see in the farm show magazine or somewhere that a guy built a grapple out of old shanks, complete with trips. Looking at the NH parts diagram that might be an option. Never have to replace them even if you eliminate the trip and way cheaper.

Could try a place like these guys. Doesn't say specifically that they supply parts but at some point in time if they ever did do something for a guy then they should have the data and material to whack out a few more. jenkinsironandsteel.com/products
