Griggs Torque Arm failure

My brother got a call from Griggs last week. The owners son actually.
The owner is the one who said they'd fix or replace the broken torque arm.
The owner's son is now saying they'll fix the broken part for $90 or knock $100 off a replacement arm.

It sure seemed like they were going to repair or replace the part for free when talking to the owner.
A message on the phone for the owner was returned by the son, still trying to talk directly to the owner again.

The owner had told my brother that a few years back they did have some quality control problems(can't remember if it was material or wokrmanship) and they thought they had caught all the affects arms, not positive this is one of the arms, but it could be.

For $90 they'd fix the part. Basically $90 to cut off the broken tab and weld on a small piece of metal with a hole in it....sounds kinda expensive to me. Had we known they wouldn't fix it for free we'd have taken it to S&W Race Cars or another local shop to get it fixed for a few bucks.

Hoping to talk directly to the owner again.
