If you want refurbished original, Scott Sinclair may be able to help. He repairs old, original tubs and covers. Let me know if you need contact info. I am sure the cost will be high, but probably not unreasonable.
Used (and often damaged a bit or a lot) routinely show up on Ebay.
Probably the best reproduction made was by Sermersheims. I think LICS carrys this brand, but you can also call them (Sermersheims or LICS) and find out. They have a new name now, but if you Google the old company, I think the new phone number will appear. Someone here on the Forum might also have this information. LATE EDIT: http://www.scorvette.com
LICS and Paragon and Zip should have the attaching hardware.

If you don't already have a tub, at the least, I would recommend you pick up a new one. The main reason is that the new reproduction tires being made today are just slightly taller when inflated than they were back in the day. As a result they do not fit well, if at all in an original tub. I repaired my original '63 tub and it looks terrific, but I have to deflate my reproduction spare to get it into the tub. John Z wrote up a great post on this problem and the reason for it a while back.
I would also put in a plug for Paragon, they have always provided some of the highest quality reproduction parts to our hobby.
Good luck... GUSTO
