There are bazillions of these available cheap. Amazon and Ebay have them. None are OEM, so you may get a good one or maybe not. I assume you are having a bit of sticker shock at the $165 price tag for what is pretty much a $30 part. This is your choice of course...either fork over for the part that is supposed to work, has a warranty and you know will fit, or don't.
