While painting the lift lever for my 124 I managed to drop the entire assemble and it broke the "thumb button" off of the top. It looks as if the thumb button was threaded in with a 3/16" bolt that was integral with the button. It broke off cleanly down in the shaft, and I have about 1/4" of threads left on the button. I'm thinking that the best way to fix this would be to drill out the portion still in the shaft, and re-thread it for a replacement button or a stack of washers and a replacment bolt to act as a button. Has anyone else had to do this? Any words of wisdom or alternate ideas? I need to get this fixed asap, and I am not concerned about the appearance/"authenticity" of the fix.

Thanks.
