5.7 Hemi rocker arm retainer/spacer block broken. Not sold separate from whole arm!!!

This is item 2 on illustration. Apparently, you can only get the bolt itself. You cannot get the retainer anywhere. That is ridiculous! Apparently you have to order a whole rocker for $200 to get the rest of the hardware, washers and all. Anyone have any idea where I might be able to find one of these?!?!

Local junk yard or take it to a welder and see if they can weld it together.

Ebay might be the way to go.

Saw a guy on Youtube that does videos tearing down dead engines and sells the parts.. Don't know his name, but you may be able to find him and see what he wants for one.

Or maybe someone here has a junk parts drawer that may have one.

Alright, here's the follow up! Apparently, that rocker arm goes way back in years and a ton of Dodge, Chrysler, Jeep, etc models. I found several at the local pull a part and just popped valve covers and grabbed a couple of the whole bolt assemblies so I'd have some spares in case. They didn't even charge me for the bolts! So $3 entry into lot and problem solved!!
