Convertible Top Latch Question


I was putting the top up on my '64 this weekend and the right-hand top latch broke off right in my hand. I guess the stress of almost 40 years of use took its toll. My question is regarding the availability of replacements. Do the various Tbird suppliers readily carry replacement (or NOS) latches? Anybody recently replaced one these? What's the degree of difficulty? Thanks much.
