Poor Zoltan... 
I think he's had more problems than I have had.
I would try Ebay first, than maybe a junk yard in LA?
I tried looking thru a "PICAPART" in our area, they don't have any cars that are like ours. I asked someone that worked there, and he said that our type of cars get snatched up quick. Go figure
Good luck.
