Not really. Our car's platform (along with the Mercedes products it was coped from) are old now and while a lot of parts are available, specialty tools, it seems, not so much.

Easy way out is to order the last one and then buy a metric hex key it for the hex key nut on the bow latch. Or, cut the hex key down on the tool itself, but I'd be afraid of screwing up the female part of the hex bolt's head.

YOu might call/email Rob at Needswings.com, he often has the odd item laying around.
