I used a cable tie when I lost mine for a quick fix...

Isn't 23 the extending foot that moves to push onto the bottom bike pannier support when you close the handles down? I guess the panier would be loose without that bit sorry I don't have a picture but can sort one tomorrow with luck as the 05-09 same as 10-13 I think...

Please tell me more as I'd love to visit Northern Ireland on tour sometime.
