I have multiple cases with the clear plastic pieces that pivot over the slide brace that hold the bell in broken or missing. Does anybody know where I can find replacements? If not, suggestions on what to replace them with?

I use a thick piece of uhmw plastic.

Easy to cut & shape and not brittle like the original so won't snap as easily.

UHMW (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) is an extremely tough plastic with high abrasion and wear resistance. The versatility of polyethylene has made it a popular plastic for countless industrial applications that require durability, low friction, and chemical resistance. Applications include UHMW wear strips, chain guides, and marine dock fender pads.
