Ryobi strimmer/brush cutter PBC3046YE?

The securing screw mounting has broken in the handle and the shaft rotates and pulls out of the handle of the power unit. What do I need to repair it [or have it repaired at the workshop I take my tools to]? I need a new handle section for sure but is there anything else I might need?

No other parts are needed, just the two plastic halves of the handle, that said take great care when parting them as there is a spring inside that attaches to your throttle (yellow trigger) and could/will come out. Also ensure the pliasic lug that locates in the shaft goes in correctly, I did this to mine and it lasted for a whole single use. I ended up drilling two holes and putting in two small self tapping screws to hold the shaft and grip in place, it has worked very well and they no longer rotate. I hope this helps.
