It may well come to that, but Merrington has concerns over the quality of the steel in the original part. In the attached photos you can see that it is very crystalline, almost like what I used to call "pot metal". It is easy to see why the lever design was changed, that little piece that broke off is put to considerable mechanical strain, and I can see how easily it could be compromised.
