No - the rear most bow

Greetings all. I'm trying to find the main top bow for my Deluxe Phaeton. LeBaron Bonney says they don't have them. Any other sources? Thanks for the help!

Hi All, I went to pull away from a curb the other day and heard a clunk and the steering stopped working. The Pitman arm came away from the drag link. Thank god it didn't happen at speed. My question:what should I replace or be checking to ensure this doesn't happen again? Thanks, David
