MD Clutch starter interlock switch

I am in need of the plastic (Nylon) insert that fits on the end of the starter interlock switch activator arm on the clutch pedal of my 1993 Touring. With out it, I have to manually depress the starter interlock switch while turning the key.

The '93 Workshop Manual calls the switch activator arm a "Fork" on page H-8 (item #9) but does not show the nylon insert tip. The Parts Manual shows the fork as PN 41-140 but the illustration is different from the Workshop Manual (no switch activator arm shown).

A simple and inexpensive part (I hope) that I'm sure has broken on many older RX-7's. Does anyone have a source for a replacement, substitution, or other work around?

Many thanks for any help.

VA Clutch Switch Rubber Bumpers - Push-In Style...$4 shipped!

Category: Interior
Price: $4
Private or Vendor Listing: Private Listing
Part Fits (you may select multiples): 1993+
Location (US State/Canada/Int): VA
Item Condition: New
For sale are the clutch switch rubber bumpers that depress the clutch interlock switch.

These are known to break out of their hole from age, disabling the starter.

For whatever reason Mazda has no listing for this part or a direct replacement. I have come up with a suitable replacement part and am making it available to other club members.

The shipped cost of one bumper is $4 anywhere in the continental US. Shipped quotes available outside continental US upon request.

Paypal is fah_q56@hotmail.com. Just send payment and I will respond via email when the part has shipped.

Some pictures of the replacement part:
