The Ford Barn

I’ve been working on getting my windshield frame
ready to go to the platers and I got it apart but I
broke one of the little corner thingies.
I say “thingies” because I don’t know what they are
called nor can I find pics or listings from catalogs on the internet.
These things are cast (whatever metal) angled pieces that go
inside the windshield frame at the bottom corners on each side.
Flathead machine screws go through the frame and into
these to hold the top “hoop” to the bottom part of the frame.
What are they called and who has them?
Or will I just have to make some (I am a machinist by trade).
Another question is where do the chrome “corners” go that I CAN find
all over the Internet, but my car doesn’t seem to have them.
It was hot rodded back in the early 50s.
Thanks for any info and pics if someone has some.
