Z620

My Z620 has a broken plastic thumbpiece for the PCI board retention clamp.  It appears that the thumbpiece is not a separate part from the whole clamp bar.  Online prices for a new replacement are unreasonable (around $50).  I'm looking for a less expensive alternative source.  Ideally, someone has a scrap chassis they'd part out.

 

I am led to believe this part is shared with Z420, Z620, and Z820.

 

Mine cannot be repaired/glued, and I don't think 3D printing is a route I can reasonably take for this.

 

Sample pic of 688599-001 (the clamp assy.):

the z820 uses a slightly different design that is incompatible with the z620/z420

 

you can repair yours by making two plastic inserts that cover both sides and gluing them with the proper adhesive/epoxy
