If I were to spend 100 dollars on a replacement, it would be a nicer aftermarket addition. There are alot on ebay but didn't know what models carry the same tank as ours. I was hoping someone that had the information from past replacement would chime in, so I could get it on order immediately. Thanks for everyones help, and I should be better prepared if and when this bandaid comes off.
Lots of compounds do not stick to plastic. One way that might work is a small wood screw screwed into the hole. This relies on the taper to jam into the hole.
