Default Need Help Finding Pictured Top Latch

The drivers side convertible latch (pictured) is broken and I'm having trouble finding the replacement part! Specifically, I need the the part that is attached to the frame of the top that pivots and secures a tight fit. Any suggestions as to where I might look, or who I might call are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance...

Dave

66jack, thanks for the reply and the link. However, it is not the part I'm looking for. I need the the movable lever that snugs the top down.

I may have a spare complete latch, but you'll have to be patient if you want me to try to dig it out.

Let me know. PM is best if interested.
