I think if you post this on the open forum you will get a better response. There are a lot of folks there that would not be looking at the H16 forum, but who would know where a beam is near you. There are plenty of them out there for not much money. You are right...the shipping is the bigger issue.

Don't try to repair it. You can find a complete assemby that will just slip into place. No need to drill anything.

Good luck.
