Hello. Does anyone have this part I am looking for? This the metal bracket part #7 in the diagram:

This is for the front arm of the GS1200. Here is an actual pic of the item needed. Its the metal bracket.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

This is the one you mean right?
This one is from an MK1 but as far as i can find it doesn't change for other versions.

If this is the one then i only need shipping covered and it is yours.

Again what a fantastic gesture from Thijs, a big pat on the back.

HI Thijs!
I have been contacted by a private party and they have offered to send me the part. It is for a different version machine so It should be good from what I have heard but if it isn't I will contact you back.
Thank you everyone who helped and who read this thread. I am so grateful to this forum and its great members for helping to keep our aging machines alive!

Maybe the next time I see a parts GS machine for cheap I will keep it. You never know what could go next. FYI-this is the 1st machine I have ever had where this part failed.
But Leon told me that its pretty common for Version 1 machines. He said they always break where the metal is bent as that is a stress point.
Yup! Dead on.
