Need RH headlight components for 88 740 (cross-posted to Swedishbricks)

Hope it's not a breach of etiquette to cross-post this...

I'm an idiot, and I manage to crunch up the 745's right-side headlights while nudging a dead 245 up the driveway (Note to self; when the angle of ascent changes, bumpers no longer line up, and the lovely wife cannot hear you shouting at her to put the brake on 'till it's too late...).

Anyway, the metal backing plate is tweaked enough that the lo- and high-beams are looking at each other, the chrome that surrounds the lights is hopelessly busted, and the impact crunched the lower turn signal lens as well. A trip to a local (Metro Detroit) PNP netted only one, in fair condition (peeling chrome, zip-tie replacing that tab on top that always breaks, badly cracked turn signal lens) and they wanted $100 for it! After they magnanimously went down to $75, I told them I'd keep looking. Has anyone got old-style 740 headlight surround/support parts lying about, or seen a 740 in a (reasonable) boneyard around here with one? I've already been to Michigan Imported Auto, Wagner, Bishop's and Abcat.

Thanks for any advice,

Chris J.
