PN 0413016-1 and no, Cessna no longer lists them, but even if they did you don't have enough hospitalization insurance to cover you should they quote a price.

You can probably locate them at many salvage yards, and they can be refurbished to look like new, comparatively inexpensively. If you re-chrome the tubes/shafts, be certain to have the plating shop bake them to remove hydrogen IMMEDIATELY after pulling them from the acid plating-bath and rinsing them.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)
