That would be a good idea as they all go sooner or later no matter how careful you are. The usual solution is to drill the prop and put in a split pin I think it is called. But it isn't ideal.
Is the guy that did 3 D printing still on here?

Sorry Elaine, forgot about this until I saw the post again (have major family issues)
But I have been through my spares and came find one,
I should have had one off my lazer, took it off years ago to fit a crossmember, but for the life of me I can't find it
Sorry

No worries Malc. Your family is more important and besides if you only have one spare so best keep for the cars that do shows.
I will make do with the drill fix
I hope your family issues are sorted soon.
Take care

Mines broken too, so I'd be interested in a club venture to supply these .

Can we clarify which actual bit we are talking about, is it the bit that holds the stay to the car at the front, or the bit that cradles it next to the suspension top?

At the front. Not the clip you clip the prop in before you shut the bonnet.

It's the base of the stay that should fit securely (not come apart) as you're looking at the front of the car, left hand side . So wherby at the moment , the stay comes away in your hand .

Ok, I could ask Bob to look at pricing some up if we feel it's worth it?

Up to everyone else but I would buy 2. The fix looks tatty and isn't the same.
