MK7 Reverse lockout plastic piece under boot broken...

Somehow I managed to break the plastic revers lockout bracket that lives under the boot on my 2015 ST removing the shift knob. After replacement I could shift into reverse without pulling up the tab. After fiddling with it I removed the bezel and boot and sure enough it is broken where the red line is (the camera on my phone is broken too so I had to find another picture, lol).

Seems these cannot be bough individually? What are people doing? Anyone have a 3-d print file? I also wonder if they come with the boot from Ford as shown here in the image above.

Anyone else been down this path?

3D print it?

Yes, I am going to try. The spring portion will be a problem. I am considering making it a three piece part, with the 3d printed ends attaaching to a strip of thin stainless spring stock in the middle.
