I have a reall small important project I need sorting out and wondered if anyone in Manchester/north west knew any metal works/small engineering place that could help with a fix for me?

One of the most valued peices of bike kit I have ever owned (LOCT front facing bike seat) has just broke, one of the two supporting rods has sheared off. Just had to tell the little girl we are no longer off on a bike ride together and gutted doesn’t come close! We are off to Aviemore in four weeks and we’re all excited about some family cycling time! Happiest times of my life with her sat up front too!

Any help/advice on where to go would be appreciated by us all.

Cheers in advance! PS. LOCT no longer exist – which is a shame as I’d have ordered a new one straight away.
