Hi

I'm assuming you mean the HA Viva rear wing cappings ?
Yes, a number of these were reproduced in fibreglass, but they are very hard to find. New steel ones are almost totally gone now, but there is a chance of occasional 2nd hand ones popping up from time to time.
If you find a set, fill the insides with Waxoil to make them last. They usually rot from the inside out.
The top rear roof capping also rusts, but less often. these are equally rare. Front wing caps, or hocky sticks as they are known are also just about all gone..... I need a set...
Not really good news, but you can find them with patience and a lot of scowering of e-bay etc
PS, these are held on with clips - that usually disolve, and then your precious cappings can fall off and get flattened to a long thin pancake...... but thats another story
