The more stock option is to buy an aftermarket sensor for the C5 A6 which usually comes with a new arm. Press out the bushings and ball joints from both arms and press the new ones back in to the original D2 plastic arm.
I am planning to do the same thing for mine, as you can see by the picture it is currently sitting together but is in two halves. Looks to have been melted? Is the curve critical or can I be a few degrees / mm's out?

Or are you making a few for general sale??
