I'm not familiar with this part, but it looks like the part that broke off was rivited in place. Assuming theres a bit of clearance on both sides, I'd just get some rivits from a hardware store

A good epoxy might work. I had one of those CAM pieces fail on me and it kept the throttle open when I had lifted off the pedal (broke in pieces and jammed the throttle linkage).

An epoxy probably will work, since the piece is plastic. I wonder about that testors model glue too...
