@bigblen I assume the lower part is required as a kind of latch? But my first though was one or two D-shackles and drill a hole through the "latch" part. But not sure if there is enough material for this.

@waldschnecke The thin part with the small hole has a spring along it, and is used to disengage the chain from the door.
The exact shape is fairly important, though I'm not sure what the sloping nipple is for.

Meanwhile, I went to the MenzShed and made a replacement from steel.
It isn't hollow, so needs a shorter spring.

Two similar looking metal parts, see previous toot for more description.
On the left is a rough looking steel one, on the right a cast metal one (broken)
