I'd go to a metal shop, and have them make copies or something.  :dunno

They are very likely custom parts designed specifically for the cabinet in question.  Many places will do custom extrusions if you have large enough requirements, and the hold down looks like it's metal, which means anyone with a metal brake and a shear could make it.

IOW, it seems unlikely that you will find those parts on a shelf somewhere, unless they were made as an after market component specifically for that purpose.....or you get really lucky.

Do any of your existing cabinets have those parts?  I borrowed the control panel piece from a friend of mine and had my brother in law bend me one at his work.  He's in heating and air and works with sheet metal a lot.  Painted it black and screwed it on works like a champ.  If you need the same shape just longer most metal shops should be able to bend those in about 5 minutes.

here ya go it's just a simple bracket that I bought in Lowe's for $ 5.00 and cut it to fit, then drilled holes to hold the glass and give that clean vintage arcade look.

Oh I see what you mean now.

That's pretty much how I was going to do it as well but I was hoping for a piece that would cover/connect the monitor and the cp top.
