Urgently seeking lower bonnet latch!

Hello
I have a 1994 993 Carrera and in the cold weather, the bonnet release mechanism froze up.
As a result, the cable is now very stiff and needs replacing.
Looks like a new cable is very inexpensive, however, I have another problem.
The lower bonnet catch assembly where the cable is retained with a bolt needs replacing as well.
The bolt retaining the bonnet release cable has sheered off.
I am urgently seeking a lower latch and wondered if anyone either has one or knows where I can get a used one.

I would try the usual Porsche breakers to start with. Alternatively, could you make a replacement bolt or have the original welded?
 
Have you tried the main Porsche Dealership, they have always had all the parts that I've requested and prices are reasonable especially with your club discount.
