Reply to Pitch faders on Technics 1200 replacement

So my pitch faders on my technics have gone bad and I understand how to replace them. However the top plate above the pitch fader that is labeled with +8 -8 0 etc.. is very damaged as well and has a huge effect on how easy the fader is to move. It gets stuck on all of the dents in the casing very often. Is there a way to replace that part as well? Or is that mounted to the faceplate? Thanks!
