Default however, as a second owner who bought this car from an independent dealer...

this dealer here in town wouldn't even consider it.

And while I haven't called AOA, I have a good feeling that would be an hour or so of wasted time

Default I always replace with metal

but for a change, the plastic issue wasn't the root cause of this particular failure

Default LOL!

if I was still in Utah, that would have been a distinct possibility.

However, I did work at a place in Rochester when I moved back here 2 years ago, and the owner knew Jimmy fairly well.
