Doing some further research shows that the upper shaft is more readily
available than the entire assembly, so I am hoping that it can be repaired
(with a new upper shaft). I plan to chat with an A&P tomorrow to get some
further guidance.

Door # 3.. the whole shaft as I recall...

Mine was worn out all through the uiniversals....

At least when I replaced mine in my "Pre Piper" days..

I got one from Wentworth, was almost new..

Even new it is a poor solution, wobbily and not very precise...

During the preflight of my '66 172G last night, the fuel selector linkage
broke where the upper shaft connects to the mid shaft at the knuckle. One
of
the 'ears' that are riveted to the upper shaft broke completely and the
fastener that holds the other to the knuckle became unattached.

I have a couple of questions:
1. Can the 'ears' be replaced and reattached to the upper shaft and
knuckle
via rivets?
2. If not, does the Cessna part 0513382-12 come with the 'ears' that can
be
reattached?
3. Do I have to buy the entire shaft assembly?

Thanks,
Jake
