Replacing overhead plastic piece.
So I flew in my '73 Challenger today and noticed some white plastic pieces on the floor of the plane. Broken plastic. Looked around and noticed the overhead plastic near the cabin light was cracked. I honestly think I hit my head on it from the severe turbulence coming out of Palm Springs. I'm pretty tall and with baseball cap and headset and a not very tight lap belt I could see this happening. The corner is missing. The pic attached is before the damage. Just wondering if I've located the right part (see link) and how tough this would be to replace on my own?
