Patrick - I've asked Jill here at DMC (Texas) to send you a PDF of the illustrated instructions on how to replace this part. Future buyers of this part will get these instructions with the part. The original AC-Delco part was very weak, and was discontinued several years ago. More details about the new ones are here: http://www.delorean.com/trip-reset-shaft.asp There should be no need to "band-aid" it together with glue or anything else, even if you do still have the broken piece. For $15, you made the right move to fix it right. Let me know how they work out for you.
