One thing you could do (without having a 1400 in front of me to look at)
is get some epoxy, and some fine gauze (preferably plastic or fiberglass
if you can...model supply stores might carry the latter) or bit of tyvek
(from a CD sleeve or something) and wrap the latch piece in a single
layer of gauze/tyvek and smear it with epoxy. You can do the same thing
with superglue, but im my experience epoxy works better.
That should reinforce it sufficiently that it'll be stronger than before.
NB: I have not done this to the latch per se, but if it's similar at all
to the latch on my 540 that should be doable. I have used this technique
to repair a variety of small, hard-to-replace plastic bits...the
windshield wiper lever on my Honda is still going strong after this type
of repair...beat spending several hundred dollars to replace the entire
switch unit!
