Hi !  I need your help and knowledge

I own a leicaflex SL and the Sl 2 black.

The leicaflex SL that I own is in really  neat condition but the weak part of those model is the red plastic lens lock button. And this piece snapped  in two this week. (see pictures attached).

The screw and the sping attached to the red button are intact. (see pictures)

I am looking for a replacement' s piece, I do know it's a common thing on those model to have this weak part to snap.

1. I read somewhere that a METAL LENS LOCK BUTTON has been created and distributed for the Leica SL as a replacement for this common issue. But i can't seem to easily find it online (US or EUROPE market - I'm From France).
2. Do you guys know where I can find a spare leicaflex lens lock button ? 
3. Is there a 3D printed 's piece maybe ? If someone is recreating leica pieces through 3d model to share

Thanks a million ! Regards

B.

to order but I'm not sure if there is a "cheaper" solution out there or a replacement piece from an other brand maybe ?
