TAM Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh LCD replacement

Are you talking about the damper mechanism (the piece that smoothly opens the door as opposed to just letting it fly open)?

Yes!

I can't speak for how easy or difficult it is to replace but there's a site in the Netherlands that does international shipping that has that part for sale (also the site from which I borrowed that picture 😉 )

Oh sorry it’s the door that is broken not this portion.

Is it one or both of the retaining clips at the top of the door, the clips at the bottom of the door, or the door itself?  It's incredibly unlikely that you'll find a TAM drive door popping up for sale on its own but if its one of the clips that broken and you still have the pieces you might be able to glue everything back together.

Yes the bottom left is broken and I can still glue it. But I’m missing the portion where it guides the door to open
