Cracked igniter ceramic

[Almost bought a california]

Hi All,
Can anyone help source a ceramic igniter for the hob - mine has a crack allowing the spark to 'leak' out and not spark from the tip. I have turned the electrode for now but will need to change it at some point and so far I have only been able to find a complete VW kit which includes the igniter button for an eye watering cost!
Any help would be appreciated.

Use epoxy resin on crack? (Araldite)

I did consider glue but the electrode sits in the flame and I don't know of any glue that would be suitable for these temperatures.

I would go with the hob ignition upgrade which is on a previous thread as the original system is poor, my hairs are only just starting to grow back with the constant flash over from slow ignition

And have a look at Amazon for:
Onlyfire model F-BIR2005-PE1-EU (was 17 euro at the time).
