[Kenwood] Small Part for TS-870

Hi,
I recently replaced the front panel on my TS-870 because the original 
one had a big scratch on it (it was listed as "mint" on eBay, but it 
obviously wasn't). The only problem is that when I was transferring 
all the buttons and things from the old panel to the new panel I broke the 
plastic lens for the "tuner" led while extracting it (I know, I should have 
been more careful). The 2 clear plastic lenses are the only parts that 
are actually glued into place. I could have bought the complete panel assembly,
but it costs twice as much as the panel alone. 
The service manual calls this part a "reflector", but I can't find the 
part listed at any of the Kenwood parts places, probably because they 
don't want to deal with such tiny parts. Is there anywhere I could 
get an individual part like that, or am I pretty much out of luck?

Thanks and 73,
Don W2DAS
