The OPs pictures aren't showing for me.But Gonzs is.
On the broken side, it looks like the end of a screw. I tried to hand twist the good side to see if I could simply unscrew it, but it didn't budge. Was afraid to use pliers to do it in case the good side snaps off too!Good idea to 3D print, but don't have one at home. Might get a colleague to help. How would you recommend securing the printed knob on the broken side?

If anyone can identity the part online, I could try replicating the whole piece from the image.
Depending on the thickness behind the base, I'd be inclined to just try a self tapping screw.Yeah. I know. Not the best looking solution but, failing all else, with a bit of black paint I doubt anyone would notice.
I'll have a go again tomorrow at seeing if the good side can be unscrewed out. Otherwise I'll look at the self tapping screw option or finding something to glue over. Thanks!

He is a good bloke (not putting him under pressure or anything)..and talking of under pressure, if anyone can find the part number it is our guru Gerard @tw2005
Is this on a PD that's under warranty?
Quote from: tw2005 on April 08, 2020, 10:41:45Is this on a PD that's under warranty?Still within the 5 year warranty. Not sure if the genuine part is a 12 month warranty.

Not sure if the genuine part is a 12 month warranty.Did you break it or did it fail? It should be covered except if you caused it to break, costs stuff all o'seas, I'd guess $8-11 here, hit the dealer up or wrecker but you'll likely get stuck with the whole trim so could be counter productive.

Car was bought used with it already broken unfortunately.

P.S. Can you make 2 x friction plates and 2 x steel plates for a A5HF1 trans with these 3D thingies. @The Gonz
I'm picturing a rather elegant workaround:- neatly drill through the centre of the broken base- replicate a spacer that matches the healthy post's profile (3D printed of course!)- use a self tapper in the new hole to hold the spacer in placeFor this idea to take flight (mandatory air force reference) just post accurate measurements:- upper (head) diameter- lower (post) diameter- head thickness and post height- dimensions of the necessary self-tapping screwI can use the image of the healthy one to use the measurements effectively and post a 3D file for you to give to your nearest printer, or we can determine postage cost (item manufacturing cost probably less than A$1).
