Sorry Stewart. Bought all of my channel from Restoration Specialties in bulk but I never wrote down the numbers. I just measured what I had, looked in their catalog to find something that matched in size and then checked to see if it had a chrome edge bead on those pieces that needed one.

The hardtop curved quarter piece is a problem in finding something that works. Maybe you will have better luck but as I recall, I finally settled on a product Steele had which I think was something used on convertibles. It was a kind of adhesive backed tape with a fuzzy front. The adhesive is not that great and it wanted to bunch if the window rubbed against it too hard. With strong trim cement in spots and careful aligning of the window I was able to get it to stay in the channel.
