Repair, another go at the breakers, or 3D Print , or even fabricate a metal version, but then used to dealing with bits like this from older vehicles. Photo, drawing?

Yes ,probably all this would work if I could get excess to the lock without damageing my seat,the seat will not move ,maybe I could prise the lock loose with a driver,as you indicate a few things could be done if I had the lock free,what was the name of the parts dealer you used,maybe be able to use fiat part number.

Well you going to need to free it to do anything, unless you happy with it locked where it is.
