That's terrible! I'm sorry to hear that happened.
I replaced the seat catch on my '87 recently. It really isn't difficult. Two cables go from the handle, one each way. They are like bicycle brake cable, an outer sheath with a thin wire inside, this is attached to the meachanism.
Long nose pliers are your best friend here as there isn't a lot of slack in the cable. If you can't find both cables easily, a slim hand through the fitting hole for the catch should feel them dangling loose.
A bit of twisting about is required to get both cables attached and it took me about 1 hour from start to finish.
Sorry I can't be more specific, I should have taken pictures at the time, but just wanted to get it done!
