A recoil starter for an elderly Atco?

I made the mistake of asking one of my sons to help me get an elderly Atco cylinder mower going and now I’m going to call him the Gorilla because by attacking the mower in such an enthusiastic manner he managed to break the top off the bolt that runs through the Recoil starter.  I have been looking for a recoil starter for a 14” Atco 1970s cylinder mower for a few days with no success, can anyone point me towards where I may find one?

Not that old. Complete new starters and just the outer casing are still available.
