Starting a thread for sourcing older bayliner oem or equivalent parts (Administrator, please consider making this thread "sticky")
The following is based on my exprience on my '89 1500CV (15' open bow Capri Outboard) and '89 1902CJ (19' Cuddy Capri Outboard)
Steering/Throttle Controls and Cables: Teleflex Marine, available here at Iboats. For outboards 90hp and above consider replacing with NFB No-Feedback versions, its safer.
Glove Boxes, Cup Holders: were made by Attwood Marine. Iboats as well, although Iboats may not stock everything, they may have access.
Blue Carpet of the era: Dorsett Aqua Turf Denim Blue 5821:

Aqua Turf is available here at iboats, but I think you'll have to special order Denim Blue 5821.
Navigation lights: Perko, here at Iboats
Seats of the era were made by Bayliner themselves, however, Wise seating makes a drop in replacement for the double ending louge seating of most Capris 17' +, available here:

The 15' Capri drop in replacement is:

Alternately, for vinyl replacement for seats and all the padding, call Kim at Canvas Plus, Arlington, WA 360-435-0932, she is the official Bayliner replacement vinyl supplier and has all the Bayliner patterns of the era.
For the Canvas Covers, Leta's Top Shop is the official Bayliner supplier:
http://www.letastopshop.com/
On Ebay seller "gary1p" offering new black 4 1/2" plastic brackets for the bands that hold the canvas up that attach to the side vinyl padding, amongst other parts.
Great Lakes Skipper buys all the surplus from Bayliner manufacturing, including Faria gauges and swim platforms and sells from their web site and ebay.
Gauges: were made by Faria and they are known to support their products. Although the "Star Wars" style gauges are no longer made, I have heard they will repair some of them. Also, Teleflex Marine makes decent drop in gauges as well, I recommend "International Red", it will match the black dash. MAY 2011 UPDATE: It appears international red has been discontiued. Amega red is closest match.
Also, for installing GPS or a Fishfinder, I recommend Northstar 538 gps and 438 or 435 Fishfinders. They are the exact size of the red outline of the black dash and fit in perfect. Additionally, the 538 or 438 will interface with Mercury Smartcraft if you decide later to repower with Merc. On the 538 be sure to specify external antenna, not the internal. MAY 2011 UPDATE: It appears but is not clear that NORTHSTAR has ceased operations.
MAY 2011 NOTES: The swim platform that Great Lakes Skipper commonly has on sale will fit the 1500CV, not most others. I will post pics when I get a chance on the difference.
And finally, Don't forget any Bayliner Dealer, it's worth a shot to see if they have the part you are looking for.
