My plan is to get the used one cleaned up and repainted, perhaps even galvanised. It should be possible to get it like new, or maybe even better than new, for a lot less than the price of a new one.
I had exactly the same - mine failed its MOT recently because of this, and I thought I was looking at a big bill, but the forum sponsors came to the rescue, also for c£70. I also had mine cleaned up and rustproofed before fitting, so that should stop the problem recurring
