I don't know why this would happen. Did the cable saw thru both 
the steel end of the Bowden tube AND the aluminum support arm 
that is part of the side cover casting? Or is the Bowden tube not 
properly installed so that the cable is not piloted correctly? In either 
case I'd think that the cable would saw a rather narrow kerf and this 
would not hurt the function of that support.

If it really is destroyed, there was an earlier steel support that 
bolted onto the outside, for side covers that did not have the 
integral support. I may have one of these from a 65, but you would 
have to cut off the old support and put in longer studs. 

I would prefer not to do either. You might be able to just add one of 
the adjustment washers there, between the Bowden tube and the 
support.
