1969 Targa soft top any Hirth roller cranks

Hi guys,
My name is Gary and I own a 1969 912 Targa soft back window. I have owned the car since 1980. When I purchased the car it had been converted to a hard back window. 10 years ago I got a bug up my ass to restore the car. It was painted by Al Martinez in Orange CA. At the time I was not considering in changing the back window back to a soft back. Recently I have decided to take it back to the original and need some help in finding parts. As I understand the car is more colectable in its original state. It has 43K original miles on it. In the back it has a flat carpeted panel rather than the folding seats. It is my understanding that that was required in 1969 by the DOT because they considered the seats with soft back window a safety hazard. What I need is help in getting this baby back to its original state. I rebuild Porsche 912 engines for a hobby and would be willing to do some trading for the parts I need. I'm also heavenly into roller crankshafts (SPG and Hirth) I rebuild them so if that is a need maybe I can help out out that way also. I am also helping a friend neighbor restore his 1967 912 coupe to its original state. Engine (912) parts I have tons and have been rebuilding them for 40 plus years so any help there please feel free to ask. Please if you own a soft top and are willing to take detailed pictures and possible sources of back window parts that would be a great help. My work is I am a manufacture of classic truck glass for 1947 to 1980 Ford and Chevy trucks.
