I've never seen a Les Paul 12. Rickenbacker and double neck SG most popular among electrics, yes?
I dunno if this is what you are looking for:

ABM 2412 at  AllParts

The best guitar store in Michigan IMHO is Elderly Instruments. They would likely know where to find what you are after.

Found few options for 12 string les pauls.

Here's a tune-o-matic bridge that will only set you back 125 euro.

They don't have studs with it!?

[Retro Rocket]

Bert, have you tried Gibson...?   

[bert96]

No...i'm a little bit scare  of their  price...

[Retro Rocket]

Actually, I've had a couple of Gibson arb style bridges collapse over time {Flatten out from string tension}, I no longer use them, I imagine there would be more load on the bridge from 6 additional strings. There are a couple of companies that make real good replacement bridges, I'll have a look and see if they make 12 string ones, Its been a while since I bought any guitar accessories so i'll have to do a bit of digging...

[Retro Rocket]

Does your guitar have the inserts in the body or the older style thin bridge posts...?  All the ones I can find have a 6 string string bridges with double cut saddles...

I have a habit of going to images when doing google searches, I seem to find more stuff that way...

Bert, do you live near any good guitar shops..?  Any half decent luthier or guitar tech should be able to cut you some 12 string saddles, what specifically is the problem with your guitar...?

[bert96]

Well, I don't want to start a big debate...but I bought a Chibson,Just the body,no electronic, no anything ,just the body.So I'm trying to locate all the parts I 'll need.
There is a lot of comments on these guitars.But think,with good parts,it will be a good guitar for a very decent price.

I had a chibson 335 given to me.  Didn't sound anything like a gibson.  But the neck warped the same way gibby's do!

Now the greco les paul I had, that was a fine knockoff - held its own in a studio record-off against a vintage gibson lp studio

[bert96]

I bought my guitar from the seller.

Bomber, I have an insanely good 1982 RR650 Greco LP custom, its a Randy Rhoades model with stock Dry 1982 pickups, its a tone machine and blows away everyone that hears it, I have a friend that builds some beautiful guitars and he just shakes his head and laughs when he hears it played, I Love it and will never sell it, I have 6 other high end and custom shop Japanese Les Pauls, 2 of the are Tokai's, both made from Honduran mahogany, both custom shop and they are better than any Gibson I ever owned or played, and at a far better price, I also have a 1982 Tokai strat that's brilliant, I'm no strat guy but this guitar is an awesome representation of what a strat should sound like, took me years to get the ones I wanted, I'll never sell the Greco or the Tokai Goldtop, they are just too good and specs are equivalent to custom shop Gibsons or better, I have some great pics if you are interested...
