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
