Thanks to Austringer I now have good used replacements, but I am still on the hunt for some other parts. You have anything else available?

Like jeepsinker posted, this was a perfect mighty mite at one time, even had full canvas. Just makes you want commit suicide with a tire iron.

I actually found a picture of it sitting in the same spot where I found it on here, but obviously about 20 years ago or so. It was beautiful.

I regret to say that the windshield he has is likely M38-A1 with the adapter channel box to fit it to the Mite. The original windshields were little more then an aluminum storm sash set up on the side with one brace at each end, and they were really prone to flexing and breaking the windshield glasses, plus they couldn't be adapted to the modified M38A1 top system used on the Mites later in their operational careers.
