Fixing this terminal strip

[N1ESE]

As you can see in this pic, the leg has broken off one of the terminals.  What's my best course of action with this?  Can surplus strips like this be found anywhere?

Yeah, I realize it is a regular spade and I can, and will, JS it that way for now, I was looking at returning it to as original a configuration as possible.

Well, I JS'd it for now.  Had to splice in a couple extra inches of wire, blah.  All connections are soldered so it should be good.

Not to seem too dumb here, but......................................... Why not drill out the rivet on the unused lug and swap it over to the one you need??

I like Slab's suggestion but another approach would be to get a new spade lug, after cleaning up the broken lug open up the new one, cut it a bit short, wrap some very small gauge buss wire around it (tightly) and then solder it in place.  The extra buss wire can be trimmed away after the soldering is done.  I still like Slab's suggestion best.

Slab, thought of that but don't have the rivets or tool at the moment to do it right now.  Probably the best long term way to go.  Don't think I'll ever need that spare lug not in use now.

Unless your are a purist you could use a 4-40 or 2-56 screw with a locking nut (the one with the nylon lock) to install lug you "borrowed"   to fasten it to its new home.

I can vouch for the adaptation of a new lug, with tightly wrapped wire holding it to the old fragment. Maybe #24 to #32? Must be small wire. - more wraps of small wire are better than less wraps of large wire.
