I too installed the eBay $45 replacement plunger kit and it worked great. I had previously called Trimark to replace mine before it broke and they very nicely told me I had to buy a new one - no thank you.
Anyway, a tip to anyone buying the stainless plunger kit... If your pot metal plunger has broken so that it is already loose and free of the rest of the mechanism, the new plunger installation is a snap. If, like me, the old plunger is still intact and you're replacing it as a preventative measure, you will have to cut the old plunger in half so it can be removed. I used a dremel tool with a cutting blade to saw the plunger in two.
Works great - no pot metal and no plastic!
