Looking for 79 CJ-5 original soft top Hardware
 

Does anyone know where I would have a good chance of finding the
original top hardware (including door hardware) for a 79 CJ-5? I found
a brand new top (from 79!) but all I have is aftermarket BestTop
hardware. Thanks for any help. BTW, I'm in Los Angeles, so something
out this way would be best --but given the apparent rarity of this
item, I can't be too choosy.

Scotty's in Fontana is a Jeep Junk Yard. They are just outside of the
speedway, across the train tracks along the back straight. I'm not sure, but
the street to get there from the freeway is Cherry.

Jeeps are still using the Bestop, so the only rarity would be how
many in each bone yard. May not be that expensive new frame:

Either way, the "OEM Style" hardware and fabric are interchangeable.
