Default Header bar...where to get

My header bar on the top has broken. I went to Chevy, they said it is only available on a new top. Does any know where I can get just the bar?

I really don't feel like spending $1k on a new top.

What's broken? You might be able to just get it
welded (?) or whatever.

Header bow (like in the eBay link) or front bow
is usually how I've seen it called.
