I posted a reply in the mechanics thread, parallel to what some here suggested. I like Yan's advice above, get to or contact a decent shop and start swapping or trading parts.
And being that I'm a day or two late to the party, you've probably already got everything sorted out and are 100 miles farther down the road by now. May the wind be at your back and the rest of your journey be more fun and less stressfull than the time spent dealing with the incident.
