I know you have already spent your 80 quid and that must have hurt for that little part. However, on the early VW Golf's and Jetta's, they had a push pull cable that operated the advance lever on a VE pump where the mechanism is basically the same as the 6. It does not however have a big strong spring on it. It simply operates by push pull and its up to you to push it back in, just like an old fashioned choke.
Fortunately, I have 2 working wax stats, one I replaced myself (what a fun job that is!) but if ever one fails, I will just remove the big spring from the lever and use it like the old Golf/Jetta, with a push pull cable.
