This is a complete redesign, not a repair, which is what I'd expect from a man of your talents and resources. I "repaired" mine by welding up the sawn through crossbar and grinding it smooth. Inelegant, temporary and simple, just like me. I've found that the H bar is very expensive to ship assembled, but taking it apart for shipping is reasonably cheap. Maybe you could start a side business, even Go Westy hasn't come up with a fix for this!

Little stainless steel shaft and a bronze bushing to fix the worn out hinge joint. Just adding one more version of what others have done. https://shufti.wordpress.com/ Alistair
