Re: convertible parts ?s
It's a cast part as I recall. Some proffesional welders are very talented and may be able to do it. My Grandfather was a welder for the railroad and could weld or braze materials that most would say were beyond repair. It won't be as strong as it was originally though. I'd ask if they could grind a channel and weld in a piece of steel to bridge the break.
Your best bet is to find a used one at a Pick-a-Part yard or eBay. In that case a 'vert had to die for yours to live.
Just to let you know, I got $225 plus S&H for the one I parted out.
