Mine has been spot welded and works fine. My mate, who I bought the car off of, did it himself. Probably worth looking at.

Had the same problem.... Got a mate to spot weld it. Only problem was he didn't have the car to measure it against, so I had to 'modify' the spring-clip a little using a pair of pliers to get it springing open again.
