Ok, I'm humped on this one.

Driving to work this morning in the 87 300D and I stomped it to try and get around a minivan. Well the pedal went to the floor and the kickdown button and I got . . .

****all

When I first got the car it had a crappy ball socket on one of the throttle links and would pop like that every once in a while. So I though another had gone and it was going to be a quick pop it back together, apologize for trying to flog it like the V8 jeep and then on my way.

WRONG.

I broke the plastic bracket that holds the pivot for the bracket that the cable connects to. Had to get the car towed, threw my crap in the jeep and only broke triple digits briefly to get to work.

Just like this guy: Accelerator Control Lever - Mercedes-Benz Forum

Part numbers would be much appreciated, as would ideas for an upgrade. I can get a friend to machine me a new one but that would take more time than I have.
