Now I suspect that's a part even I didn't retain when I broke the old
Minx, but I will check my store tomorrow just in case!

take it to bits and weld the teeth up, refile to shape, it will last for
years.

I got a friendly machine shop to take pity a few years ago and do this
for me, as well as repair metal fatigue in the lever arm.

Admittedly, it helped that I already knew them, and that I wasn't
screaming for it to be done yesterday. One of the guys there worked
on it in his "spare time," and charged me $25. It was better than new
when he'd finished with it.

That's actually not such a bad idea. I've done it with one of the window
winder quadrants on my Merc; it's a common failing on these, yet I fixed
it in half an hour with no financial outlay beyond a few inches of MIG
wire!
