Default 140 speedometer trip reset broken

I am looking for an old speedometer piece to replace the stem that resets the trip meter on my 140 speedo for the 79. I dont know how many others would work or even if other type cars speedo parts would work. the speedo works fine its just somehow somebody snapped the darn thing off flush with the speedo face. if I had the stem I could glue it but cannot find it anywhere

dont wish to buy a new speedo just for this, but I thought I would pop out a feeler for anyone who may have a broken non functioning one with a good plastic stick
