Convertible top latch help !!!

Hi all,
I have a 1950 Chevrolet Convertible and the header rail top latch handle has snapped where it bolts to the latch . This is the locking handle in the centre front screen .
Can anyone tell me what the correct name for this part is ?
I'm on the other side of the pond sometimes we call things different to you guys


I have searched the internet and can't find a relacement.
Anyone know where I can get one ?
Chevy , Ponti and Olds from 1949 to 1952 all use the same I believe

PS the roof is locked in the closed position and summers coming

Thanks for your time
Colin

For the rest of you, If you restoring a early Ford such as a 1966 mustang, early Barracuda they shared many parts.
Many Links- Piviots -Hyd Pumps- Top Latches are interchangeable.

These top stacks were Made By Dura Corp in Michigan.

If remember they built almost all Top Stacks in that era.

 

Thank you divo13
I will double check that this is the same handle at the weekend ( I am sure it is )
and yes I will put the donation to the Caner Society.
Once and thank you

 

You, are more then welcome. I try to help, when I can.

 

It's great to see people who help out the HAMB members, and going to a good cause.
