Default Fixed my blender door. Need a new control ****

My heat blender door was stuck forever. I got it going but I broke the plastic bit on the back of the control group where the cable attaches to the ****. Buying a new group has gone out of my budget so I was hoping someone was 3D printing them or something.

the eye that hold the end of the door cable is where they've been breaking. I've hit up the U-Pull-Its in my area. They're all super brittle and I've snapped maybe 5 of them. I'm hoping I can find another intact control cluster so I can commission someone to make me a couple. Asking here was my back up plan

I would take one and clean the back side and then fill it in with a epoxy to make it stronger .

I'm confused.
When you say "control cluster" you mean this?

There is a cable behind it?

Another of the 97/98 vs 99+ weirdness. 97/98 have a cable actuated HOT/COLD.

There is a 97 in my local pick and pull, been there since mid october. If I get a chance I'll see if I can grab the HVAC panel for ya.

I did not know that.
I maybe imagine that '97, being a transition year, might be different, but '98 too?
I wonder how many sellers on Ebay advertise them to fit '97 to '01.
Like the majority do with cruise control switches.
As we know repeated postings do not work in all years.
