upper Canopy latch part number

Short story, looking for new upper latch/part number (called Vans parts and they didn't know what it was and said to call back this afternoon to talk to tech support.) Wind dropped the canopy a bit hard and the upper latch hit and bent. Now it is hard to twist and open and rubs on upper supports. I could probably pull it off and bend it but am also looking at just replacing with a new one. Anyone have a part number?

DWG 41 has the part numbers.

Thanks, didn't have my plans USB card at the office. After sending a email to Vans they were also able to determine the correct part.
 
Canopy latch

Here is the latch I made for my 6a. It allows the canopy to be open for taxi but to not open all the way from a wind or prop blast. Having trouble with attaching the photo but if you email me at [email protected] i thinki can send it directly to you.
