Yes, parts are available. Even some structural parts are possible to get with reasonable timescale, just to compare with some Piper structural parts which lead time was something grazy.
You can look overseas as well, there is plenty of parts supplier for our North American friends with their TB:s.
One customer bought new windscreen from USA manufacturer for his TB, cannot recall was it due to pricing or something to do with littlebit thicker screen. Or both.
