Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also be interested in getting dimensions/diagrams in order to find a machine shop to make them.

He should have a pattern he can make you a set from. It will not be cheap but is one of the better options. Pretty well any set you may find at a swap meet will have to be rebuilt. He repaired a set for my little depression R-P truck about 5 years ago. For the top iron repair and the new wood bows it was $1250. It will be more for a touring. Art
