No luck. I went to TWO places that only sell parts for automatic 
transmissions, and neither had it. I also tried the VW main dealers parts 
store. He found the item on his parts computer, but it had no part number, 
meaning it is officially NLA from VW. Everyone had a very similar part for a 
later tranny (the 010). It's a pity they didn't keep the same part, 'cause 
then it would be generally available.

Everyone I showed it to suggested I should just clean it up and put it back 
in, since the hole was fixed, albeit a bit clumsily. Unless anyone here 
thinks that's a really bad idea, I think that's what I'll do.
