Mario,  you may want to contact Jay Friedman.  He's the foremost authority on '49 Cads.  He wrote the restoration manual for the CLC.

Anyway, he's a really nice guy and might have spare parts or know somebody that does.  jaysfriedman@yahoo.com  He live down the road from me and has also been helping the Pope with his new Model T (Jay's an expert on those, too).

Tell him Forrest gave you his email address.
