k plane cable fitting?

[tcuda499]

KIEKHAEFER 380 k planes
where the indicator cable goes through the mounting plate (on transum) there is a plastic fitting that screws into the mount plate to hold the cable and keep water out. Well its broken and I have found replacement ones at Cp Performance in stainless for $60.I need new K Planes because of corosion but want to get a season out of these so I dont want to spend $60. Does anybody know where I can find the plastic ones?thanks

this one is the entire actuater kit, but you can see the individual part numbers and order what you need.

well you live and learn, hopfully someone else will benefit from this. anyways anytime you have to buy something for a boat and spend less than $200 is still a good deal
