I have a pretty standard hand held shower head. The C-bracket holding it up to the mount is cracked. I searched "shower arm mount" on amazon and got plenty of hits but none of them have the adjustable flow rate feature I want.

Any recommendations?
 
You're posting from the U.S so may be used to different fittings but does the existing shower head mount you have allow you to control flow rate?
 
Yes. In the pic I posted, the valve on the left controls the flow rate. This was purchased 5-6 years ago. It is surprisingly difficult to google for this feature and find something.

The "C" bracket on the right of the pic is cracked so it needs to be replaced.

Edit --- I found a part number written on the shower head part but not on the part in my picture. It is Waterpik A112.18.1. Googling on that doesn't find the part in my pic nor does it find anything on amazon or other e-tailers that has this feature.

Don't know, you're probably far better off going to your nearest bathroom/plumbers merchants as they will have far greater product knowledge.

If not you could buy a standard shower head bracket and put a flow controller/adjuster valve between the hose and the shower head.
 
Any chance of repairing the 'C' bracket by glueing (epoxy can be pretty robust with good prep) or stitching, and using a reinforcing strip or ring around the base?

With the hose attachment being conical ie a wedge it'll be prone to fracturing again. As you say it'll need a mechanical fixing as well as any epoxy for sure.
