R170 SLK spring perch

The front, left spring perch on our ageing SLK has torn away from the body. Anyone had this fixed recently and can give me an idea of cost? It’s the same as a W210 and other Mercs of that era. I believe the replacement is glued on.

Small update. Old perch cut out and new one welded in. Unfortunately the spring is broken and the spring seats have disintegrated so replacements are required. Also discovered that the prop shaft centre bearing support is shot as is the exhaust.
