Cam Adjuster Replacement (4.2)
Has anyone had to replace their cam adjusters?
The arm on the mechanical side of one of the diaphragms is broken and I need to replace it. Sadly, they don't replace just that 3.5inch long piece of plastic. Instead you have to order the whole cam adjuster kit which is like $400. So, a fix that could cost $3 in plastic is going to cost $400?
I suppose I'll be looking for some wrecked 4.2s or just fix the one I have with some crazy glue and a metal brace/duct tape/something!
This is sad.

Honestly, I've been thinking about this. My quick fix idea is a combination of crazy glue and safety wire.
As for the aluminum, I'm sure I could do it. Where can I get a small piece of solid aluminum? I'm sure I can find/buy the necessary file.
