I wouldn't hold my breath Blake....... :-(
I asked for those same window parts for my '25 Fordor and got zero results.
I'm afraid you will have to have the rods made but the nuts and washers are available at least.
I've not yet installed those windows so the rods are free for measurements if you need that information.
You're extremely lucky to have the latch plates.

Blake, if you or anyone else can post a pic of them, I can check my stash. I have a rather large pile of T parts, much of which, I'm not sure what it is.

The rods are awfully hard to find along with any of the window and door hardware.
You can make the rods themselves and bend a 90 degree on one end to latch the rod in the window sheetmetal framing.
Its the nikel plated ends of the rods thats hard to dupiicate.
When I restored my Grandfathers 24 Coupe I didnt realize how lucky I was to still have almost all the window parts still on mine.
I think the rods are 1/4 or 5/16 dia. so making some tempoary rods wouldnt be to hard until you find some originals.

I haven't looked at the rods on my '25 coupe, but most likely they can be made as John suggested. If so, make them out of stainless steel and you won't have to worry about having them plated. Stainless is very close in appearance to nickel plating. Just a thought. Dave
