Vicky Brit has decent sheetmetal replacement parts. I have also used spitbits with good results. Both use BMHIT stampings. Others might be good also YMMV. Whenever you are looking for help give your location. Someone might be close enough to help. i have a welder and have ben known to help for food or to see a Spitfire brought back to life. A welder is something that is indespensable when you need it but gets in the way the rest of the time. Renting one is another another option.
