Broken Hot Shoe on Canon 430EX - How to fix?

Sorry for anyone who might have thought this was a tutorial. I am looking for some help on actually figuring out where to get the parts to perform the operation. I broke the stupid plastic hot shoe (big surprise right?) so I need to fix it. Extensive googling has rendered no promising results. There has got to be somewhere that I can find just the hot shoe for a decent price right? If anyone can lead me to a website with this info, it would be marvelous. Extra points if said website has metal hotshoes for sale

What you are referring to is a foot, not the shoe. If you only broke the plastic assembly of the foot, but the pins are still functional, go here for a replacement part.

Well that would explain why nothing showed up in my searches. haha Thank you so much.

Here are instructions on how to do the repair on a 580EX. (430EX should be similar): http://neilvn.com …canon-580ex-hotshoe-foot/
