Any reason not to replace it with a non-broken boneyard part?

Besides that it would presumably cost me a lot more, I don't know where
to get the part from, and I don't know how to install it, it's a very
good idea.

I actually hadn't thought about it. I'll look into it. I have a Haynes
manual - maybe that will give me a better feel for the difficulty.

Still, a little plastic, some epoxy, and some zip ties is bound to be
cheap and effective.


Theoretically you can weld many plastics with a hot air welder and
filler from a similar material. Disclaimer: I never had much success
with the technique.
