Hope you find one, they are VERY hard to come by. As I said I've searched for spares (which I now have) for decades and then just recently saw 3 or 4 pairs go within a week. I got one set and others went like wildfire!!! It's one of the few lenses that hasn't been repro'd in either glass or plastic.

Sorry I can't help with your other parts, I have many 33/34 spares which I keep for my 34 and wouldn't part with, and just recently parted with all the excess extras. I suspect the glovebox spring-loaded latch was very common hardware used by lots of makes and shouldn't be too hard to find at the larger flea markets. Also it looks like it would be fun winter project to make a couple of them.

Keep us posted. Have we seen pictures of your 33?
