Bob,
I would suggest you go to Univair, since they hold the type certificate any push rods from Skyport would either have to be used (not a problem if in good condition) or purchased from Univair and resold through Skyport. BTW sounds like you have original parts, lets face it the Coupe is pretty low tech stuff.
