   Sounds like its done.   
      
   I once sat down to make a new box shaped blade clamp for a Craftsman   
   reciprocating saw.  (Like a Sawszall.)  I had picked out a piece of   
   metal, started taking measurements, and headed in to the computer to   
   model it up...  a couple days later the brand new replacement part   
   arrived in a mail and it was only a couple dollars.  It wasn't critical   
   to have it that day. I already had a newer Milwaukee SuperSawszall if I   
   needed one.  I just hated having a useless tool on the shelf.   
      
   I agree that ordering the part was probably cheaper than the value of   
   your time, but to everybody else... there is some value to having your   
   neighbor "owe you one."
