[DeTomaso] Deck-lid Striker Plate

[Jack Donahue]

To All:
I installed new deck-lid shocks which apparently are VERY strong as the deck-lid wants to "fly open" and the gap between the body and lid increased a few millimeters - anyway, my striker plate broke and made my outing a "Bat-mobile" drive - embarrassing. 
Are striker plates an easy-order? Or - do I find a welder and try to salvage what I have?
Thank you,
