Roof Center Support brace source?

[gzig5]

My 73 Cuda had a flip up sunroof installed at some point in it's life.  The center cross brace was removed for this installation.  I'm replacing the roof skin and sunroof, and can't seem to find a source for the center brace.  Year one has a three piece kit for the challenger but nothing for the Cuda, which is apparently different.  Any suggestions for a source besides finding a non-existent parts car?

I don't believe it's reproduced.

I didn't see anyone reproducing it either.
Maybe contact Tony's ??

FWIW
I checked the 70/71 parts manual and there are separate part numbers used for the center brace between Challengers and Barracudas. In  case you were contemplating using one from a Challenger.

Well, that's not the end of the world.  It is a hidden structural part so if I have to cobble one, it won't be seen under the headliner.  I'll still keep my eye out but I'm not going to spend big bucks on one.  Will be a good excuse to exercise the slip roll and welder.  I think I can manage to match the curvature of the roof within the gap required for adhesive between the skin and support.

AMD has been coming out with a lot of structural roof parts lately, they have the rear center brace, I'm sure the center and front braces won't be far behind...but I guess in the meantime you could come up with something on your own

Someone (Dynacorn??) made a three piece set for the Challenger because Roseville lists it for $270 for the front , middle, rear.  I found a rear brace from someone for the Barracuda but nothing for the middle.   Maybe you are right and they are coming down the pike.   I don't need it today and will keep my eyes open.  Plenty to do before I get to the roof.

Unless I read it wrong, the parts book for 70/71 shows the part number for the front brace is the same between Barracudas and Challengers.
The rear and center shows different part numbers.

That would make sense...same windshields etc...
