Oooh, that's not a good spot. I'm guessing it pulls air in, as well as the threat to snap off. Were it to break in the field I suppose you could keep going simply immersing the works in water, but who'd want that hanging over their heads.

Maybe post a parts-wanted ad and somebody with a retired Hiker might sell you the needed bit? There must be a zillion rattling around, unused.
