#1 | Needing to fix cracked clutch control assembly datum

Hi guys,
In fixing an issue with my clutch switch on my 2016 RS I discovered that my clutch control assembly has cracked where it mounts to the handlebar. See photo below.

As far as I can see from parts list it is only possible to buy the whole assembly (part#1 on schematic attached) for mucho $$$, but all I need is the clutch fluid reservoir to which the other parts attach. It doesn't have its own number in the schematic, which makes me think it only comes with the full assembly. Admittedly it's the major part, but according to the parts list it doesn't seem to be available separately.

Does anyone know if it's possible to get just this part new? I'm in Melbourne, Australia. I've looked though wreckers websites trying to find a used one, but no success. I'd appreciate any tips, or ideas on whether I can repair the existing part.
Thanks,
Richard

Try Motoworks in the uk, They may ship it or ship to a UK person on here and ask them to ship it for you.

Could check James Sherlock, here in uk, as I guess they have so many bikes being broken for parts.
Do you know which models your part fits to other bikes?
They also have a link on their page to the bmw parts fiche where you may be able to check

Could you fill that void with liquid metal and see how it goes for a while. It's really hard when it goes off, hard enough to machine.

It might be worth giving J-B Weld a try. That stuff seems to be able to fix anything. But trying to find the part at a salvage yard would likely be the best approach.
