It is not repairable but should not be hard to find. Senior and junior cars had the same part. What is interesting is the long rod pictured. There are 3 varieties of that rod and I had to replace mine last year. Yours has a curve in the middle. The original one on my car was straight and the one I replaced it with had two bends in it. You are right, the part you need is not too robust but it did last a half century. One more replacement should do you fine unless you are very young.
