‘83 Chrysler 7.5 replacement follower for carb throttle linkage

[Xcakes0X]

So I’ve been working on a ‘83 7.5 Chrysler and noticed the black plastic cam follower that helps move the throttle linkage on the carb is broken. Part number is F525316-1 but the problem is they don’t make em anymore. Does anybody know what I could do to fix this? I am providing a pic below

Have you tried with Franz Marine?
Otherwise as it is made of plastic try to glue it with Loctite super glue.
They have a couple of different typs such as 401, 424 and 480 etc for different applications.

3D printer??
My brother-in-law has a 3d printer and from what I've seen that should be no problem to fabricate.
Machine shop? Fabricate from aluminum.

I think 3D printing would work I just don’t know how hard it would be to design the threads
