Sorry for the noob question but I don't really know what this part is called.
It's from a Stern Stars. It's the assembly for the right slingshot that the arm pivots on.
It's riveted but the rivet popped.

I have taken pictures of the unbroken assembly from the left slingshot and then the broken assembly from the right slingshot.

The million dollar question...

Where can I get a replacement?

Thanks!

Suggested solutions:

Got any welder friends? Best solution would be to spot weld that rivet back in place.

Another possible solution would be to replace the rivet with a bolt with a sleeve.

No... don't have any welder friends but I did consider the sleeve and bolt. Good idea and I will have to try it if I don't find a substitute part.
 
I'm surprised these aren't available somewhere. I just took apart 3 of those exact kicker assemblies last night when I was working on a playfield. I assumed they were used on a lot of EM games. Though, it does look like the newer ones can be used with just adding a couple new holes under the playfield to screw it in.

Yeah... strange that it wouldn't be an easy thing to locate. I am not the greatest at visualizing substitutions or fabricating replacement parts but I may have to develop that skill a bit if I want to continue with pins.
