Camlock for old Bowen Water Heater

We are in need of a replacement camlock for the Bowen water heater in our 1966 Safari. The PO had lost one of the camlocks, replaced with a screw which was not helpful but now the other camlock is getting cranky. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Very commonly used to fasten cowlings on light aircraft. I would seek out my local small airport and ask for an A&P mechanic…
Probably has one in the top drawer of his toolbox.
