I was having AFM trouble, acquired the pigtail harness, still had trouble,
and opened up the AFM to move the circuit board so that it was traking in a
new location.  The circuit board was worn all the way through the "carbon"
coating and had cut deeply into the material underneath.  I did not have
much room for adjustment and the final reglue looked much like your photo.

After a year or so I installed a new AFM without the pigtail.  Overall the
van ran remarkably better to include lower engine temperature(?).

Out on the highway I (the van) had an intermittant miss so I put the pigtail
back in and it solved the problem.

The new AFM was one of the better investments made (and there have been a
lot of "investments).
