I dont have a recommendation, but for the headlight and wiper, I would hunt for NOS, they are around. Convertible top, I got lucky and found one on ebay NOS, but they are tougher to find. For the radio I was able to use the several old radios I had to create one good looking functional one, that I bench tested prior to install.

I looked into that relay kit for the top switch, but from what I recall the extra wiring is visible in the engine compartment. I figured for the number of times I am going to operate this top, this switch should last for a while. I try not to bump the switch repeatedly when operating the top, just one click for up and one click for down. To try and save service life. Mine is hooked up to a power distribution block under the battery tray. It wouldn't be hard to completely hide the wires and route them into the passengers compartment. You could probably power them from a + port already on the inside if you wanted to. I mounted my relays next to the pump. You might be able to fit the relays behind the DS kick panel.

Classic Car Radio Service restored my original Superbird radio. Jim at JS Restorations is one of the best to do switches. Has done several for my projects.
Both recommended. Jim
