I just got an AEK II M3501, and I ended up cracking the spacebar as I was trying to remove it :cry:
Is anyone selling replacement spacebars?

What part of it is cracked?

The space bar itself, on the front. I feel kind of dumb that I cracked it, but I think it was kind of brittle.

I super glued it, so at least it is usable now, but I'd still like to find a replacement spacebar. Does anyone know where I might be able to get one without needing to get a whole different keyboard?

Wrong stabiliser mount unfortunately. The AEK II's plate has Alps-type stabiliser mounts whereas SP's has Cherry-style mounts at the ends for Costar-style stabilisers (there are many keyboards with Alps-switches that indeed have those).
I also have some recollection of the AEK II space bar having a weird stabiliser wire, but I might remember wrong.

You could ask elecplus. Her company refurbishes keyboards, and sells keycaps at times.

Just use a Matias stabilizer kit or print these:
