I thought of e-bay, but was too impatient to wait for delivery.
I do like the thought of a designed in weak link. Every system has a weak link, and replace it, the next time the next weakest link breaks. We do this all the time at work. But sometimes it is better to have a weak link that is easy and cheap to repair, than doing more serious damage that is harder and more expensive to repair. Apart from the $150 (plus some touch up paint to fix some scratches in the frame of the drivers door where the door met the seatbelt) the biggest damage is to my ego and a scratches in my arm and hand from the repair. I even had loctite to use on the bolts, and the right drives for the socket wrench to make the job easier, but did find the rubber washers between the arm and the mounting surface hard to keep from falling with gloves on.
With any luck I have learned my lesson.
