Top Case Lock Bracket

Please Please would someone be able to help me,

Really up S*!T creek!

I am in need of the bracket the lock clamps on too for the aluminium top case as mine has broken, I am unable to find a part number or who would sell one.

I now know that this is not a part sold separately by BMW (they suggest purchasing a new box) so wonder if you would be able to tell me:

1) Who the manufacturer of this top box is?

or

2) Where can I get the item?

or

3) Is there any one out there that could make it for me?

I don’t relish the idea of buying a whole new box or lid just for this bracket!!!

The item I require is shown in this picture and I have marked in red,

So after having a look around on this forum i managed to find out that the top case is manufactured by Touratech, should have guessed that really!!

I contacted the UK and German branches and have had an email back from German After Sales and Technical Support who is able to help me by looks of things.

Thank you UKGSER forum.
