I had to remove all the wires off the starter solenoid and when I went to put them back on the metal tab (for lack of better words) that is bolted to the circuit breaker and then bolts to the starter relay broke in half. I am assuming this is not something I can pick up at the local Ford dealer so can I just make a new one and if so out of what metal? It appears to be light like aluminum but more of a pot metal. I am really tempted to make one out of aluminum as I have some that is about the same thickness. I thought about going to a salvage yard but the ones there are going to be just as old. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just to clarify this is on my 1993 Coupe.

Took some pictures so hopefully this will make more sense -

Again, I am needing to replace the tab not the circuit breaker.

Thanks,

Well, I decided to just replace the old circuit breaker with a newer version which allowed me to remotely located it. This makes more sense anyhow as my strut tower brace was always too close to it.
