The Yates Y-Style Bow Stop # YR333Y that you referenced features a 6-1/2 inch span.

The closest Y-Style bow stop we have available to your current unit is the Yates # YR4Y22-3 which features a 4 inch width between the "Y" contours. It has a 2 inch square base and works with a 3/8 inch diameter shaft. I have attached a short video review on this bow stop that you can check out as well.
