New Project - Need a CS1 front bow

I am working on a Franken-Fiat ... It is a '78 124 that was abandoned in a shop 15 years ago that I bought as a foreclosure on a mechanics lean. The engine is a '73 right down to the DHSA 2 carburetor (took awhile to find the diaphragms for that one). The electrical is shot, but I think I have that covered. What I really need is a front bow. Any ideas?

I am in Texas, so there is a bit of distance involved ... but there are NO Fiat 124 parts local that I have been able to find so I am definately interested.

Autoricambi is also in Texas, (Dallas/Fort Worth area if I'm not mistaken) And highly, highly recommended for parts and service.

No wonder I can't find any small, local guys to do business with ... the big boys are in my back yard
. They have a really good price on an accelerator pump diaphragm - so much for retrofitting any more carb parts from the VW guys (DFEV) ... I am getting real Fiat parts (DHSA 2).
