Targa top locks broken

[VA911-77]

Can anyone help with this. The key on my Targa Top Catch have broken. Where I place the handle to lock and unlock. Anyway to replace these bolts rather than spending over $300 each for new catches?

I have made new ones and replaced them before. If your handy with a lathe and mill its pretty easy. But I don't think you can buy just that part.

you can braze the end of a 1/4" drive extension or a small 1/4" socket into what remains of the latch socket, then use a 1/4" drive tool of some sort to work it, or grind the targa key square. just one of several fixes.
