Wanted Convert. Top Frame Part

I was at a car show on Sat. when attempted to raise the top on my 1988 Iroc Z ragtop. I must not of reached toward the middle of the top frame to lift the top up. The top frame did not come up equally and the main pivot arm snapped in half. the top frame must of been twisted or bound to cause the main pivot arm snap in two. I was so fricken upset. Does any body have any top frame parts that they would sell me? Looking for the LEFT side pivot arm. There is a lower pivot bolt toward the bottom. A couple other screws that attach other small arms and a couple screws toward the top of the arm up into the main frame. I will check back often to see if someone can help me. you can PM me or just send me a thread with contact info. THANKS JIM

Unfortunately it would be very costly to ship an entire frame due more to the size, than the weight.
