I don't think this is doable but I said I'd ask. Old flush high level mechanism was replaced with new one, and the new one is crap in comparison, it keeps sticking & I've not found any reason why, it's A1 ok when out of the cistern. He wants the old one back if possible.

The old one the fixing nut was jammed on, had to angle grind it off, so there are 2 problems.
1. The projecting threaded brass is too short - thre's a lot of thread but the plastic cistern is very deep at that point. So I doubt it's fixinnable
2. I don't see how to connect the downpipe to it
Non-problems:
3. the cut off end is rough, but that can be tidied up

Is there some way to connect the downpipe?
