Flamma awning leg joint snapped at bracket

[Katie'n'Debbie]

I have just managed to twist and snap the end of my flamma awning leg. It seems to be a rivet or screw pin that goes through the inner and outer bracket on the leg and the attachment on the actual awning. Instead of twist and drop I managed to twist and snap and one of the bits on the leg snapped off. Is it possible to weld the bit back on and fit a new pin/screw or will it have to be a whole new strut. I attach a photo of the bit that snapped off. Any help or suggestions appreciated.

It’s a replaceable knuckle

So how do I get the broken bit off the leg and where do I get a new one from. Sorry to be a nuisance but I'm currently getting very hot as I thought I'd better not risk putting the awning out as the support is damaged

Will give them a ring when I get home, fortunately live in Weymouth so quite local to drop round to them

Just looked online and see I can get a replacement for less than £20 so thanks Jim. Hopefully the old broken one will come off easily and then we can sit in the shade again as starting to turn lobster

Sorry, was in a rush!

They are handed so make sure you get the correct one! (Or buy both just in case )
