That part looks like something accessible at a local hardware store. Might need to re-thread the hole it screws into to match the taper of of the replacement.

Thanks for the reply..
I had tried my local hardware shop, major hardware distributor and even aquarium stores. They just don't have any similar "screw"..
Guess I have to find a hollow rod and retread it the correct size..

Have you tried a plumbing supplier? You might have to take the similar piece in brass but they usually have an assortment of hardware not common to anything else.

Here's a page from a supplier I found online -
