I'm very interested in the answer to this too, as mine is broken in exactly
the same spot. It's been rewelded before and broken again; so I suspect
part of the cure is to be sure the rest of the joints are in tip-top
condition. The kicker is that the top was replaced probably at the same
time as the frame was welded, and it looks completely unused. The weld
must've broken almost immediately.
I was thinking of sectioning the broken part out, adding a solid rod that
would extend inside the rear tubular portion, and an outer sleeve to join
the rod to the front solid portion, with suitable welds to hold both pieces.
The result would not look original, but I think would be stronger than
original and hopefully not too obvious.
