MK3S+ X end motor printed part compatible with MK3S?

Was replacing bearings, rods, and belts on my MK3S, x axis. Was doing fine until I overtightened the tension screw and snapped the part. The X end motor part is now held on by two inboard screws, although belt tension seems fine and the printer prints ok. 

 

I'd like to replace the part though, but have no current ability to print anything other than pla, and the prusa store (UK) seems to currently be out of stock of the part. There IS a guy on eBay UK who sells the equivalent MK3S+ part cheaply - if that is compatible then I guess I could just buy that?

As a get out of jail action, I Would print a PLA Part whilst my printer was still working. 

the X axis parts are not high temperature components, so unless your printer is in an enclosure, PLA should work OK. 

this should give you time and comfort to pursue other options
