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.
