[VAC] Travel lock



Greetings Everyone,
 
 We had some trouble recently with the travel lock on our '67 Safari.This is the bolt that is directly below the door handle.It has a knob that one turns from the outside when traveling.The knob inserts a metal rod  into the door frame,which in turn ,insures that your door won't go flying open while driving.
 
 The metal rod that inserts into the trailer door frame broke off recently.I would like to replace the entire mechanism with either the same parts,or something newer that would work just as well.
 
 Has anyone here had experience with replacing this?I am having troubles locating anything that will work.
 
 Many thanks in advance.
 
Charlotte
