Hi, Speaking of this worm gear, does anyone know a source for these? I have scoured junkyards for these and all of them seemed to be cracked. It seems to be quite a common problem. Probably the combination of 20 year old plastic and the sun beating down on the dash. If anyone knows of a source, I need one for my 1980 Westy. And I have tried the super glue trick.
