Problem is how to prove it. I will write to them anyway. Does my idea of botching it sound plausible to get it through its mot?

Hi Mark.
That's a blast from the past 2012, let me have a look tomorrow for you I think I have one in the shed already made up, if not I would not be able to form one as I do not have the arm any more.

Mark.
I have looked and found, managed to go right to the tin it was in, in the same tin was another partially formed, so over the weekend I will form it so I have a spare if I needed to ever make another one.

Default Just in case someone else has this issue ...

Posted this in another thread, but probably best here.

I have just had to fix my front Xenon level bracket as the weld failed between the rusty steel bracket and the aluminium arm (and slot it fits into).

I was going to go down the excellent solution by Steve (Arctic) above, but thought I would try glue first. I found an epoxy glue - "GorillaWeld titanium bond epoxy" - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/332453011170

I needed to free the arm as it had seized on one ball joint (probably why it broke what was left of the weld?). Used WD40 and some persuasion then cleaned up the rust, greased it back up and now moving freely.

I cleaned up the suspension arm so it was degreased as much as possible. I used a file to remove surface rust flakes from the steel bracket and the weld material, so it fitted more flush.

You simply squeeze equal parts of the resin and hardener on to a disposable surface and using a disposable spatula mix the 2 for 30 seconds then applied it the back of the steel bracket and in 10 - 30 minutes it will set. Full cure is 24 hours.

First photo - The drive shaft rubber damper made a purpose built rest, whilst it set.
Second photo - End result - all back together.

Have gone for a drive and job is a good 'un and holding firm.
