Default Broken heater lever

So today I replaced my heater core in my 98 xj. During removal I broke the lever that is connected to the cable that goes to the temperature control dial. I can't seem to find a replacement one anywhere on the internet at all. Anyone know the part number or where to get one short of going to a pick n pull? It's called a blend-air door crank arm or a blend door controller.

I think this may be the part number. I looked for it but it’s not looking good.

Yes it’s on a mopar page. Even if it says it’s available it’s a long shot. They’ll refund you if they can’t locate it. Or you could call.

That looks fixable. You wouldnt happen to have one of them micro hobby drills (size of a finger, not a Dremel) used for building scale models, JB Weld, and a stiff paperclip laying around, would you?

^^^^^^ What he said ^^^^^^

I would super glue it together as perfect as possible then you could get some JB weld and coat the entire piece. Throw some nitrile gloves on and you can use your fingers to go a lot faster rather than using a little wood stick or something. Then grab your dremel (or someone elses) and grind it down until it looks like it used to.... I bet that holds up for quite a long time. Or super glue it then use it as a blueprint to 3-D print one from somewhere...... I have to assume someone on earth has a 3D print business.... matter of fact I have a large expensive fancy one at work that anyone can use. You just have to bring your thumb drive to the machine with whatever it is you plan on printing out...
