Theoretically welding might seem to be the quickest, easiest and cheapest route. One would think that it would be easy to just "reach up there and weld it". but just the fact that you are asking here tells me that you have not found someone to actually do it yet. Talk to a local welder and see what they say. Any welder that I know would want that part off of the car to weld it and would want it cleaned and sand/media blasted to clean it up. Depending on the alloy, they may need special rod and heat treating. Then you need to do a little finish work. Ugh. None of that sounds quick, easy or cheap to me.

My advice, suck it up and replace it. In the end, it will be faster, easier and cheaper just to replace the whole bracket. My guess is that you will be able to find the part is readily available and reasonably priced, as they are not a common failure point.

Just my $.02. YMMV.
