I found a steel bracket of some kind in the garage and made a spanner out of it, cleaned up the lens (mold was inside the front lens element), and put it all back together again. Lost a tiny bit of paint around the notches, and touched it up with some flat black paint and a fine brush. Looks great, thanks for the tips!
