generator door latch replacement

I've got a 1972 Revcon 220. Does anyone have a source for replacement or substitute pull up latch on the generator or propane door latch? The one functioning latch on the generator door failed. The other latch works, but the catch is broken and in the jaws of the latch. These are about 1" by 1.5" miniature pull up latches riveted into the doors.
Does anyone know of a source for a direct replacement or a workable substitute?

I bought mine here: https://www.austinhardware.com/paddl...q-corners.html
..but they seem to be out of stock.

Do a search for "Paddle Handle Latch" and the result set returns some you should be able to chase down.

Good luck!

Now that the holidays are over here are pictures of the miniature paddle latch used on the 72 Revcon for the generator door and the propane tank door.
I checked the link for Austin hardware but didn't see a direct replacement, I may need to look at one of the little camlock latches.
