Mordex centre boss.

Mordex centre boss, renewed appeal.
Hello all.
This afternoon, I decided to do a bit of cleaning and oiling on my "new" Merlin, which I recently purchased for the sum of £18.
It was a scruffy looking thing with plenty of corrosion, but, and this is a big but....
The centre boss appeared to be sound.
I started to clean it and oil it and took the centre boss off....
All went well until I screwed it back into position....
A crack appeared and a piece broke off the side.
I now have 2 Mordex Merlin's and both of them are out of commission due to broken centre bosses.
I also have a Major and a Mentor, I like Mordex reels, but I don't like the brittle plastic parts.
I've asked before, and I'm asking again.
Gentlemen, does anyone have a spare centre boss (or two)
I have seen lovely ones in Brass and Alluminium and I would love to get my Merlin's, put back into service.
I am happy to pay a good price.
Thank you in anticipation.
All the best chaps.
