Well, the cheap fix to a new part is working. it was a bit fiddly to get the correct bends and tension. material that is a bit wider would work better, a friend of mine in the model railroad/ slot car world suggested windshield wiper metal inserts. That might be next.

I will relay that Jared at Tucker's Parts has been excellent to work with. Offered to issue a refund, but I explained what I had done and did not feel like I could take them up on the refund. I have reached out to Classic industries but have not heard anything yet.
