If they are no help, I think I may have one somewhere from a series 1. Send me a PM if you need it.

I have a sneaking suspicion from memory they are a 'MAZAK' casting chrome plated, so cannot be welded. :( Bad luck. :cry:
If all else fails you might be able to repair it using superglue, :) other than that it's a case of finding a matching scrap one.

yeah they are mazak..
was going to try those miracle aluminium rods to see if they would bind it, they claim to weld anything that isnt steel, and as you can weld a hole up ina drinks can using them !!! I reckon I got half a chance.

havent heard back from that dutch rootes company about a new one yet, but have sourced a couple of second hand ones as well so not too worried now
