WTB Piece of Sway Bar W123

Posting for a friend:

Rust got the best of the passenger side sway bar on a 1984 300D. Need about 5-6 inches cut off a healthy sway bar to weld onto this one. As you can see, it broke just short of the upper control arm. It doesn't make sense to replace the entire sway bar on the car, and it's sitting at a garage now.

If anyone can cut a piece of sway bar off a parts car they have around, it would be greatly appreciated, and you'd be paid for the part, your time and shipping. Car is located in New York City.

EDIT: Just found out about the below repair tool from fastlane. Genius. Thanks for the feedback, all!

Yeah, just saw that after posting this thread.
Thankfully not something I've ever had to deal with myself.
That's probably the best route.

I emailed your address in the ad and offered to cut clean ends of the 240D I am stripping down.
How much is this kit? Looks like a very easy option.

IF you decide you want to go with a section of original, PM me back

torsion bar/ front sway bar / stabilizer bar repair

I ordered one of these "Torsion Bar Savers" here through Fastlane. I believe it was $130. FYI: it ships from a different warehouse, so you can't order other items with it.

The best info I found about the repair of the torsion bar with this kit it is here:
