Not that part I don't .. I've only got one and it's on my Bus.

But they're not hard to come by new, check Always or Halsey. .. you know they were all dealer-installed, right?

Really? I didn't know that. The dealer drilled the holes too? That may explain why they're not parallel with the lid.

Drill X to match and you can compensate for crooked holes a bit.

I'm going on three years. I even pulled the engine without disconnecting them once, and the bailing wire unrolled itself and disconnected nicely.
