For the first time I hit the problem of non-availability of genuine parts

Looking at eBay used parts are available, which makes me believe that this part doesn't fail that often.
Reference your other posts Sergei, its the curved rear arm I am after (4D0 505 465G) and, as I said in my post of 25th Aug, TPS declared it obsolete and unobtainable. Used parts usually include the sensor which I dont need and, anyway, they are usually in a poor and corroded state. Which is why I was going to follow MJs suggestion and manufacture a stainless replacement...... Or wait for MJ to start a production line
