I'm thinking you could post a foto or two to show everyone what you are repairing/replacing. Mucho credits for taking on a repair of this scope!

If nobody here has a donor car, check out car-part.com and sort your search results by distance from your zip. You might find a donor in your neighborhood and drive there to check it out.

Also check out your factory service manual (and other cool docs) at XenonS130 - S130 Reference It might help you name and number the parts you are looking for. Be sure to report back as you make progress!

I see 280ZX roofs out there and in your neighborhood. A recycler will probably want to sell you the whole roof - which may be a better idea anyway: less finicky work for you? Check out car-part.com, sort search by distance from your zip.
