Angry Convertible Top Intermediate Side Rails

My 68 Mustang convertible top frame is splitting on both sides. It's the part of the frame that has the coat hook on it. I believe the part name is INTERMEDIATE SIDE RAIL. I've lubed all the pivot points on the frame and never did find any point that was binding. Does anyone know where I might find these parts? All places I have checked only sell the complete frame, which I don't need. Thanks!

Your best bet would be to look into salvage yards that specialize in older cars. Have you thought of having yours repaired?

I've been to several shops, some which specialize in restoration work. All have told me that this type metal can't be welded. BUT, Doc on Operation Mustang tells me that is not true, and that his shop has done it! So..............
