chris..
ibm BOULDER parts might have a kit of small parts..
they do for screws and logos and the like..
but not usually for latches..
my guess is that a service center would be in the same boat as you are and
that easy serve (if they don't declare the machine contaminated) would
replace the entire top cover as a unit and charge for parts, accordingly..
most ANY A series should share the same latch part..
