[RE-wrenches] Seeking DC breaker to fit ancient AEE/ Gudgel enclosure for Trace PVGFP

Hello, Mechanics~

I sold this early GFI for PV arrays to a homeowner decades ago. Page 2-5 of
the attachment mentions a custom enclosure from AEE Solar; AEE part number
53.0090 and breaker mounting plate 53-0094.
I'm sure that's probably what I bought for mounting the GFP assembly. The
breaker plate is pre punched to fit the mounting tabs on back of these CF
style breakers. This may also be known as an E-series breaker.

I suspect this box was a joint project involving Dave Katz & Robin Gudgel.
Now I need to add a suitable single pole DC breaker but all I have found so
far are those with terminal studs that poke out out the back of the
breaker. Two different eBay vendors had a photo that looked right but the
product they shipped had the studs. I'm sure the breaker is non-custom but
I haven't found an easy source for quantity one.

I think the breaker body is 1" wide. Ideal specs would be 100 amp rated,
and any voltage rating above 50. 80 amp rating would probably also work.
It's for a 24v battery off grid setup. If anyone has a part they could sell
to me, please reply off-list with a description of the age & condition, &
requested prepayment including slow boat shipping to the SLC region, Utah.

OR: if anyone could suggest a vendor who's likely to have this, all
suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks in advance; the Wrench List is the
Bomb~
