Yes, that's the one. The stock pin is crap, that's why yours broke. Reinforce it.

I give you an "A" for effort DoorJ, and an "A+" for tenacity. However, I think you're going to find that there is no good fix for this particular problem. But if you're gonna try, make sure you're using ABS epoxy weld, and not just regular old epoxy.

The rod has a + shaped cross section. Sister some ABS material in the inside corners around the weak spot, and weld it all together. It doesn't have to look pretty, it just has to be strong. Remember, the entire force of the 4Kg spring is pulling on the thinnest part of the rod at that point. The kilograms per square meter is extremely high there.

Good luck my friend. High hopes and low expectations. I sincerely hope this endeavor is successful. But I'm betting against you  😜
