I was looking for something that might function as a nut plate for mounting
D-sub connectors in Apple IIs when I found this:

DB-23s are apparently a thing on Amigas and such. Something like this could
easily be remixed into the DB-19 connectors used to hook up disk drives on
the Apple II (or Mac, for completeness). As long as you're not relying on a
metal shell for the ground connection, this ought to work.

I've dealt with iec.net in the past and had pretty good success with them on DB-19 and DB-23 connectors. Their inventory does run out sometimes, but they order batch replenishment and will happily tell you when their next order will be (if they know) for a given item. Not sure about the backing plates. They have so many different connector-related items that you'll have to search around.
