Sharp vcr model:VC-H988U idler plate?

[Sidney]

Sharp 4 head hi-fi stereo vcr model:VC-H988U,year:Nov 98,CSA file #
LR96163=Funai/Symphonic,the white plastic slide bracket underneath the
vcr located right of the cam gear and behind the both tape guide post
guide gears is broken and I need a part # for it.
Again I need the part # for the slide bracket(idler plate) also any
OEM part #'s for it,I looked in all of the part # look up sites below
and only Tritronics had tons of parts for this unit but alot of the
parts were labeled as "slide brackets".
Thanks for your time and effort.

Note:it is not Sharp part # MSLIF0076AJFW=$15.57 CDN as I just
received it from Sharp Of Canada by Purolator (2 day ground
delivery),the part that arrived is the metal plate for the carriage,so
it is the wrong part.

It would be easier to replace the vcr . I have had luck finding parts
like that by calling other repair shops to find a junk machine with good
parts .
