Default 1940 Ford Convertible Top Bows

Does anyone know where I can get the special machine bolts and copper spacers for the top bows on the '40 convertible? I have the caps for the rivets. I also need the piece on the passenger side between the top bow and first knuckle. The tab broke off. I believe it is cast aluminum; I'm trying to get mine fixed.

Got a picture of what you need?? I might have one. Might try Roy Nacewicz for the bolts. When I built mine he didnt have them but that was 17 yrs ago .

Ken,
I belive that a company named Totally Stainless in Penn. makes the bolts.
I have directed a number of customers to them for top iron bolts for various years and those that I have heard back from seem very satisfied.

Thanks for responding. I will check on the status of the part being repaired, and maybe I can give you a part number.

Is this the cast piece that has a double eye that the top bow attaches to?

This whole piece is about 22-23 inches long. I would buy the whole piece to get it. The part I need is at the knuckle joint. It's riveted to the piece above the window on the passenger side. I need the passenger side. The part number for the driver's side (which is probably one digit off) from the passenger side, is 01A6653109. Would greatly appreciate any help.
