Your best bet is to check eBay. They pop up there from time to time. I’ve been fortunate on my current project to be able to re-use the bearing retainer as it was in pretty good shape. Just cleaned it up. Good luck.

There were two different styles of windshields for 1962. One was installed by gluing it in. The stainless moldings around the windshield were held by clips that were held in the window channel by screws.

Along the same lines, I need to find a source for a correct reproduction Jetfire exhaust pipe (from the Y pipe to the muffler), a correct muffler (dual outlet) and correct tail pipes (one on each side). Anyone have any info on that? Thanks.
