Funny you should mention that. I just had the plastic focusing tab replaced on
my 35 mm Summicron. My repair person asked me to order the part from Leica
Camera in New Jersey.  I called Leica and they had no trouble in identifying
the part and sent it to me within five days.  The part costs $17 US, but I
cannot for the life of me find the invoice with the part number on it. Contact
Leica directly or e-mail them, I am sure that they will supply the part number
for you.  The repair is not easy and should be done by a pro., however as the
lens has to be disassembled to attach the tab. The screw holding the tab comes
from inside the focusing ring.
