You could always try & repair it. I have successfully repaired many metal objects using a product called JB Weld (link below).
It is a metal loaded epoxy that when set can be filed,drilled & even tapped just like metal.

THE NUMBER Y0U GAVE FOR SWIFT IS FOR THE MICROSCOPE DIVISION. THE CORRECT NUMBER FOR OBTAINING PARTS FOR TELESCOPES OR SPOTTING SCOPES IS 713-529-3551 - TAKES YOU DIRECTLY TO A COMPANY THAT SUPPLIES SWIFT PARTS. I'M WAITING FOR AN ANSWER FROM THEM CONCERNING THE MOUNT, BUT IF THEY CAN'T HELP I'LL TRY THE JB WELD UNTIL I CAN FIND A MOUNT. THANKS
I am in New Zealand and have been fortunate enuff to find a swift mark II for ten dollars at a local garage sale but I need a stand is there any where in New Zealand that I could get parts from??
The mounting ring for the eyepiece is lose and I can't screw in the eyepiece. How can I secure the mounting ring which is rattling around inside the case in order to be able to thread in the eyepiece?
