Your first step should be to call the manufacturer. See the contact information here: See the contact information here--https://www.contacthelp.com/Harbor%20Freight%20Tools/customer-service. If you can't get the part from the company you may be able to obtain the part number. Then try the following:

* Try an online parts source like http://www.ereplacementparts.com/ or https://www.partstore.com/

* Contact local tools dealers, who might be able to supply or maybe fix the part

* Enter your part number in a search engine like Google or Yahoo

* Try http://www.searchtempest.com/, which displays global listings from eBay, Craigslist, and other sourcest
