Does anyone have a favorite way to repair an SFP+ DAC that's missing a pull tab? I had ... issues with a damaged cage and ended up pulling a brittle tab off of one of my older DACs.

I was thinking small zip ties but they may be too thick for the mechanism to function properly.

Often for getting things like that unstuck, "dental picks" (do not actually use them on your teeth please :D ) can be found on ebay/aliexpress/"electronic goldmine" (and other "new old stock" style websites). Thin, various shapes, pointy ends.
