1978 Mercury L4 850 "reverse cam-lock"

[steelersman224]

Hello, I am currently in the process of rebuilding my lower unit on my merc. I finished up rebuilding the gears and such with no issue, but when it was time to bolt the lower unit back in I misaligned the reverse cam-lock and snapped it when I went to tighten the unit. Bonehead move I know. I went to acquire a new one and I cannot find the correct part. If someone could help me out with a part # or a URL to a site where I could purchase that it would be great. my serial number is 4594257. attached is a picture of the reverse cam-lock or the cam-lock spacer that I need and cannot find. HELP!

Available right here it seems---Reverse cam $55.08---Or is it the guide you need ?-----Just a few clicks to find it on this site.

I'm not sure what its called that I need. all I can find is the reverse lock cam with the splines in the middle. I need the part pictured, unless the part on this website replaces that part. The part I find on here looks nothing like the one I broke.

Post pictures of your broken parts.

I do not believe those parts are hard to find.----But I step aside here.

That part is upside down the reverse cam goes down first then that piece (flipped) goes on top.
