For the bolts to hold the brackets on, you may have to make your own bolts.

Or if your lucky like me, I was you may find something similar I could use.

I went to all my local windscreen glass repair guys and asked if anyone had anything similar to what I needed....take the bolt with you if you have it.

Luckily, one of the old guys who runs a local shop had a container out back that he used to store all the old rubber brackets etc he took off broken windows etc, in this box I found two rubber coated bolts that were a similar style and I was able to use them to replace my rusty ones. :icon_tup:

As far as the round dial mechanism goes, keep an eye on eBay. They come up for sale on there quite often...you just might not have to be too picky on the colour.

You can also get some used parts from ebay, look for the store called Rotary Restorations. He's got of used stuff. Including everything you've mentioned.

There's another one called Apex Auto Parts that sells used stuff too. Google them, I don't remember the URL.

Thanks for the info! I know Jim at RR and that's the one thing he didn't have!
