Default 89 targa roof latches broken

Anyone have experience fixing these latches? Any ideas or sites where I may find some used ones. I have been messing with these for quite a while, new extremely expensive. Thanks

dcauto.com sells just about every part, try ebay or craigs list you may get lucky. You could always hunt around for a top in real bad shape that some one is trying to unload and buy it for the latches.

There is a little cam that is inside the latch that breaks on many of these latches. This is the type of latch with the roller, not the hooks as Ive seen. I will try to get a pic. Mean time I will check your eBay listing. Thanks
