Broken Lens Hood - SAL300F28G2 -- Need Help

[jmac]

Hi Alpha Shooters - I recently had a fall and broke the lens hood attachment on my SAL300F28G2 lens. I cannot seem to find a source (in a timely fashion) to order the replacement part. The piece that broke appears to be able to be replaced since it is fastened by a screw. Does anyone have a suggestion for a quick fix?

I think I found the parts via Encompass - Sony's authorized parts dealer.

As an engineer, I can safely say that If it moves, and shouldn't - Duct Tape

B&H carries some hoods in stock.

parts on order via Encompass - $64.00 vs a new lens hood for $300-$600
