The auto parts shops want like $96 for this part. Fuck that, we had a friend go get this one from a Barry’s U-Pull-It junkyard, but apparently he didn’t realize the bolt mount brass insert hole support area was crumbling apart ☹️

Regardless, he had the sensor tested and it checked out good. But I can’t in any good faith install the part when the single bolt hole mount was about to literally fall out of it.

So, after about 3 hours of careful creativity, some super glue to secure the parts, JB Quik Weld as a filler for the missing plastic, careful filing, shaping and leveling of flat surfaces, and a zip tie around the whole thing to make sure as best as I can that the filler doesn’t break loose, and this is what I came up with.

I do hope this part still works after all the cleaning chemicals (Goof-Off and rubbing alcohol), super glue and epoxy, I do hope the part still works when I get to installing it tomorrow.

And yes, I also had to patch up cracks in the back side where the 3 wire harness comes out too. Assuming optimistically that the sensor still works, we’re already planning for this to be a temporary replacement until we can get a new one ordered online for like $20 or so, because fuck $96 for a damn sensor!

Edit: I got it installed this morning, and it works!
