Parts Wanted - 12” Lightbridge

I recently purchased a 12” Lightbridge Truss and had it freighted to me. The freight company (E-go) drove something through the container and into the OTA. Despite having insurance they claim no responsibility. The bearing Mount was driven into the tube and broke the Aluminium bracket at the top of the tube that the Truss poles mount into.

If anyone has an old one of these laying around that you are willing to sell, maybe from a project to rehouse the mirror, I would love to hear from you. I have been told that welding the bracket will more than likely end in misery. This scope deserves to see the stars again.
