Well, I'm pretty chuffed that I chose to replace the scuttle as it was worse than I thought.
In addition to the n/s fitting being broken (see photos with o/s for comparison), so was the o/s bracket which slots into a fitting on the body (also see photos with n/s for comparison) and the central fitting (underneath the round cover) was completely snapped off, with the remnants still bolted to the body. What a mess!
