I need to replace some Cabriolet top hardware. Pieces (2) measure about 3" x 1". Does anyone know of a small shop (foundry) that could duplicate these?

Try John Boorinakis in Auburn, CA, 530-885-4956. He rebuilds the top mechanisms for all prewar year Chevys and other makes and can make new sheet metal sockets and bent wood top bows. He should be able to suggest a suitable foundry for your parts if he can't fix them himself.
