Shimano Baitrunner 4500 A

[Fishermans Paradise]

Anyone know of a decent source for discontinued shimano parts?  I have a customer with an old A series baitrunner, it is his favorite reel and is in need of repair.  At a minimum I want to replace the anti reverse spring and spring holder, parts RD 0479 and RD 0480.  Shimano says parts for this old beauty are no longer available and I would really like to help this guy out.  Thanks in advance for any info.
