Hi,
I dont have a spare but Im thinking yours might have broke the same way as mine and I can offer an easy fix if it split at the seam, 2 muffler clamps, 2 2 1/2" long bolts&nuts and some permatex blue sealant. Apply sealant along the grove, then take your two muffler clamps and use the bottom piece that does the clamping and squeaze it in a vice so it pinches the seam (the ones I used fit tight as a glove) then you can tap both clamp ends on and use the bolts to secure them and it will hold all the pressure.

End result looks like this!

Sry for the bad pic hope this helps! Its held on mine for 2+yrs now

I had the same issue with my old 92. The neck is plastic but the new one was metal. I believe I ended up at the stealership though :(

If i find my spare I'll let you know. Dealership price for that part is way too high. Fir the time being try scuffing the inner surface and use epoxy to coat the area, may work for a week or two.

Agreed! I ended up at the dealership but that doesn't mean I liked it or would recommend it if you could find it elsewhere.
