Hi, welcome to TFP! Have you looked at Teddybearpools.com? They sell parts for older above ground pools. Here is a link for Johnny Weissmuller. https://teddybearpools.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/TB-Premium.pdf
You may not be able to find aluminum parts, so you may have to try the plastic/resin parts. Other possibilities are getting new aluminum parts made by a local fabricator, or getting new parts 3-D printed. Some larger public libraries have 3-D printers or look for a local "makers group" who may be able to print parts for you.

thank you for all your feedback I tried teddy bear they are all out stoxk, i was looking at some resin parts that i thought may have been compatible but none are close enough to the right measurements. I'm going to put my thinking cap on and take a walk around home depot to see if i can come up with something. maybe its just time to buy a new pool but im afraid if i take this one down my husband wouldnt be happy about putting a new one up.
 
If your pool is otherwise in good condition I would try spraying the screw heads with silicon lubricant spray or WD-40 to protect them from corrosion and maybe cover them and the sharp edges of the top rails with duct tape. The top post covers are mostly cosmetic and don't affect the structural integrity of the pool. You might even find a contrasting color of duct tape and cut it into strips and apply it to bridge the gap between top rails if you can't find anything. Would Teddybear be able to order the parts?
 
I am in search of the same front coping covers for my Weissmuller pool.
Did you have any luck finding a source or find some other workable solution?
I believe the part #s for my pool are T1703 (front) and T2555 (rear). I really just need the front.
If anyone has a source or workable solution I would really appreciate hearing from you. Thanks!
