Default fixing Mitutoyo Dial Calipers?

In article , pyotr filipivich
says...

So does anyone have any suggestions for replacing what looks to be a small
L shaped piece of ABS (or other) black plastic?


I've been known to cut out a bit of vespel and whittle it into
shape under a microscope on some occasions. You don't need
high precision for this part. Another option is to start scrounging
around until you find a plastic part close to 'near net' size
that you can modify.

And then there's the other option: if it moves, and it's not
supposed to - use the duct tape.
