Luke --
If you can't get that pot metal teardrop thingy, I had good luck just shoving the broken parts of mine back into the hole. The parts get held together inside there, and perform their function perfectly. It's only when they are taken out that they fall apart. You do need to have a majority of the pieces to make this work. Lose too much of it, and you're stuck finding an unobtanium part -- used.
