Hey all. Well, where I store my bike in my garage is relatively close to the wall, and several months ago I accidentally bumped it against the wall and it snapped the plastic where the right side light bolts up. I was able to glue it back, however I tapped it yesterday while maneuvering it around my toolbox and it came loose again. At this point I'm thinking it would be better to replace the part where it mounts up.

I checked the parts fiche, and found the fender section:

I'm thinking that's what I'm looking for, but don't see that part listed. It would be at the top-right of that diagram, what part #30 (bracket) attaches to in the back. I think. I see nuts/bolts and so forth listed, but not that part itself. I was hoping it could be ordered separately...

My second option is perhaps a couple of large washers, placed on either side to re-brace the taillight. I'm just not sure how stable that would be. Thanks for the help.
