I bought a BMW R75/5 with what I believe is a Velorex 562 attached. It looks like the 562 but is missing the brush guard and luggage rack. Due to a garage accident today, the front end was damaged - fiberglass is bent, paint cracked, and the metal trim is going to need replaced. Right now, the top part of the body is ajar from the bottom because of the trim. I'm pretty sure I can fix the fiberglass - well, between my limited experience and my buddy who is a body guy/ vintage bike mechanic. I don't think the trim can be straightened out and then curved again - probably comes already shaped. Looking for a parts source. I'm wanting to install a seat belt in it, so any recommendations for one are appreciated.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Hope no people were injured.
Maybe you can find what you need from here:

Matt,
Got your email and sent one. I need your zip for shipping costs.
For the seat belt:
Mount a (new) 60" universal seatbelt at the rear body to chassis bolts behind the seat.
Any auto parts store should have them.
Back in the 80's the brush guard and luggage racks were accessory items and many vendors sold the sidecars without them.
Both are available. The luggage rack is available in black paint or chrome.
