E83 X3 Front wiper mechanism : replacement required

Mine is on its way out  :)), I cannot find one that is pre-owned: they must go out of breakers in minutes .
Main stealer wants nearly £400 , but says they are on back order from Germany , if he could get one ?

Anyone done a cobble up, to fix/replace the broken plastic knuckle ?

My  car is an Msport 3.0i, auto black over cream leather with birch wood, 185k miles & absolutely flies along.
TIA

Decision made - cant take the risk of it breaking & effectively scrapping the financial aspect of the car . I'm swapping the X3 for a high spec 525 estate ! loads more refinement .  8)
