....by rivets but you may use screws if you install a new one.

Mine was riveted in place but I used screws when I replaced it. It's a tight squeeze so access to remove the rivets was fun.

the plastic piece is in place and in good condition as is the carbon "button". my problem is how to connect the spade end of the wire so it is solidly mounted in the plastic sleeve shown in your pics.

Is there no male connector on the back side?

 

[bavagain]

It's there and the plastic housing is there, they are in two pieces however. My uncanny ability to determine the obvious tellls me something is broken. What is a good source for this item or do I resort to jb weld?

I bought mine from a member here a couple years ago. Most parts sources are out as I think the part is NLA, but it looks like there are some on eBay.

@bavagain ; I have access to one (e9, e3 is identical i hope? ) nearby, it would be 60usd to get it shipped to me and onwards to the US. Let me know if that is interesting.

Thanks, Mine is complete and in good condition except for being in two pieces. This car is in no way a concours car, I believe I'll go the jb weld route
