MkII Cabriolet Hood front rail

[Motor-Mouse]

Longshot:

The front portion of the hood on a MkII Pearl Cabriolet is a 'pocket' with  spring steel(?) insert that 'engages' with the front portion of the frame connected to the body. On my car, that is missing and has been replaced with a piece of shaped wood - that has recently broken. I'd like to return it to the original spec and wondered whether anyone might have the steel insert in the remains of a car or could help me with any information as to exactly what I need to manufacture..

Thanks in advance..

Hugh

Is it similar to the way mark 1 works?

I have a mark 1 and can take photos if its of similar design, its only a bent piece of stock steel with a couple of locating lugs on it....
