Need Trolley pole from Bachmann United Traction streetcar

[KylePearce]

Hello kind stranger,

I’m in need of the metal hinge part of the trolley pole on the Bachmann G Streetcars. I have both springs. It appears you can’t buy these separately from the entire shell. If one of you has a spare, I’d be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!

Can you post a picture of what you do have including any broken parts, thanks.

Here is the broken part (note the missing cross-bar) and the identical intact part on the other tram. Whatever metal it's made from is quite impervious to my soldering attempts, with every solder I can think of. Also does not glue well, due to the force of the springs.
