 Need a low B key for a Noblet 45

I could certainly use some help finding a replacement low "B" key for a model 45 Noblet that I am rebuilding. It suffered a fall while living with the former owner and the key got bent. It's the pad cup itself that is bent and I have tried and am at the point where I don't believe that it will ever be beaten back into the proper shape to do the job. I could also use two or three pivot screws and the little axle that holds the crows foot key on although the pivot screws and axle are not critical to getting this back together, they would certainly help. I would even be willing to buy a lower (right hand) section with these parts on it as long as they are usable. I'm not 100% sure but I think that the Normandys used the same Leblanc keywork as did the Noblets.

cups can be hammered back into shape relatively easy. You need a hardwood dowel, filed into appropriate shape and a wood block as an anvil, and a bit of patience. Can you post a picture of the damage?

Vito keys not a direct replacement, but they could be fitted; not sure if the specific key fits well. Noblet 40 keys should be direct replacement. Normandy good choice too.
