I did not find the part! I soaked the hinge in CLR which removed the calcium buildup. Then used JB Weld to fasten the 2 halves back together while building up a lot on top and bottom of hinge (layering). As the hinge sits about a 1/4 inch above the shower seat, I inserted a spacer under outrigger end. I then added a short piece of 3/4 inch aluminum angle to the inside of hinge. Then filled over and under the hinge with clear silicone. Still holding up so far? Sometimes we just have to use our ingenuity! Lol! I also, just in case, made another of 1 1/2 aluminum angle iron using the broken hinge as a template, just in case the JB Weld didn't hold.. So far not needed but have as a backup.. Hope this gives you some insight.. Jim
