Mark, I talked to Mike Slama the other day, he should have new ones this fall, if you can wait. They can be hard to find, and the lenses in the previous ones have never fit very well.

Original 13.5 metal bodies are rare, and I don't know of any company that used them or had lenses made to fit them, specifically. If you have an original lens with no notches, it may be meant for a gil or banded body.

OK, those fit a Balcrank body, and you might be a long time finding one, in the meantime, a metal should work.

Seen a few ballcrank bodies on eBay over the past few months. Pay attention to globes with one lens sometimes they have that diamond in the rough.
Good luck

...looks just like a regular globe body, but has three screws instead of two...
