2000 Mitsubishi Eclipse GS, 4 Cylinder. I was working on my car and leaned on a little plastic part by accident and broke it. See photo. I’d really appreciate your help. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/0/07640350739639f7e6fd4361a09ef7b35bae2358.jpg) ---

Any car parts place should have one, and it’s easy to replace. Lucky you! ---

I replaced mine recently. The new one fit so tightly it broke when I applied enough force (with my bare hands - they hurt); I also broke the grommet, which had gotten hard in its 30 years. I bought a metal valve and a new grommet. So you may want to consider the metal one. It was only 50¢ or $1 more.
