Apple Pro Keyboard (A1048) Space Key Problem

[MotionMan]

I got a Apple Pro Keyboard A1048 a part of a Craig's List deal. Unfortunately, the space bar is missing the metal "balance" bar. Is there a way to get a replacement without having to buy a whole bunch of crap I do not need?

Or, does anyone have a broken keyboard they would be willing to cannibalize for me?

Thanks.

Paperclip?

That would take some doing on my part.

Are they even the same length?

I don't know. I was just throwing some ideas out there. Have you checked ifixit?

No.

Still no luck and I ahve been through 5 other keyboards.

Any other suggestions?
