Hi, I would do the following. First, I would buy a flat ABS rod and rebuild the missing part. Degrease thoroughly. Present the rod and apply tape to hold it in place. Disassemble everything and repair the back with hot air or a soldering iron. It can be reinforced with metal mesh by fusing it with the ABS. It's time-consuming and labor-intensive, but it would look identical, or nearly so. Regards
