It's not my area of expertise (I watch Sewing Bee with admiration! - though less so with that irritating woman doing the presenting now) - but my friend tells me that there are 2 very helpful firms called Nutt, in the Brum area, that you could ask. She goes to Sewing Shows at the NEC (twice a year?) and says they are pretty well known.
A 'DC Nutt' in Walsall, and an 'S Nutt' in Sutton Coldfield, give them a call or drop an email, asking if they can please help? And they can likely also advise if you need a more local repair person?

Hi everyone especially any sewing machine people.
I am not a too well up on the sewing machine, but have dabbled.
I needed to sew something but have realised I must have banged my machine at sometime and snapped off two parts .
I have managed to find a new part for one of them. But for the love of me I cannot find what this other part is called.
It isn't the Bobbin pin, it is the piece that sits next to it.
I have searched the manual, googled, ebayed , looked on the Brothers website but cannot find the name of this part. 
. As I need to order a new part.
My machine (prob quite ancient as I had it given to me over 10 yrs ago)
BROTHER XL 2120
If I can find the correct name it may help me search for the correct part. Fingers crossed there will be some eagle eyed gran that may be of help. Thanks all 
I will try and post pic. It is the little piece to the right on the black and white pic.
