If you're REALLY lucky, a good boneyard might come up with one IF they are on some sort of network but they'd prolly gouge you $$ for it.

The other way is get a copy of HEMMINGS MOTOR NEWS and look thru the ads for parts places that might have such goodies for older classics.

Then again, others on this BB might come up with still better ideas.

Lexan is a very bad choice. Lexan and other polycarbonates react very badly with fuel and solvents. They craze and become extremely brittle.

That's why the question mark.
Surely there are some transparent/translucent plastics around which could be used or else keep hunting in a boneyard for old time fuel line parts with glass bits that MIGHT fit.
