Tony are you talking about the two fingers that come down and hook the bag onto the bracket?  you can buy these new for about $160  at bobs.  It is the entire locking mechanisum.  It requires drilling out the pop rivets and putting the new guts in with new pop rivets, plus changing out the lock which is not too hard, once you hold you tounge just right.
