Zenith 29JC20 HV parts needed

Got the 29JC20 from DC working tempoorarily by bridging the 4 sections of C2 which was open. Before that I had poor sync stabiliy,poor focus,a hum bar and hum in sound,no color and a piture that was dark on the right hand side and bright on the left. Still waiting on a couple of restuffing capacitors for the filter caps.
Everything ran good,had color and everything until I heard corona with interference in the picture.Just as I peeped in the back to see the picture diappeared and I quickly pulled the plug.
I opened the HV cage where I was sure the problem was and I was greeted with the acrid smell of burnt bakelite and immediately saw the problem.

The cup like part which held the HV rectifier socket had broken out screw holes which caused the rectifier to come out of its holder and the plate cap got too close to the cage and it arced over.Being on its left side to expose the bottom of the chassis for working on it of course aggravated this .

Anybody have these parts or know where to get them?

Looks like the same cups RCA used in the CTC line, I have those in my 7 and 9.

HV cage parts from later Zenith models such as the K,L and M line appeared to be all alike. Those clear plastic HV cups were always a problem. I think the heat and the corona affected the plastic. That's the Zenith model that most collectors would "kill for".
