Rear brake frame weld

Ok I need some help here. The rear brake pedal run up the frame and is held onto the frame by a U shape piece that is welded to the frame. Well driving to lunch today the pedal felt loose. When I got off and checked it I saw that the welds holding that piece on were broke.

It is driveable, I just need help from someone who knows how to weld and has equipment. Or if someone can recommend a place. I live in Columbus, Ohio.

Thanks!
Cliff

If no one from your area responds, please keep in mind that most indie shops will have an excellent welder working in the shop. Today's dealerships may or may not have access to good welders, but any respectable indie shop should & an indie shop's prices as a rule would embarrass just about any dealership

You may want to check with an automotive body shop. Today's cars require mig welders on site because of the metal used now. The break you described needs to be either mig or tig welded.
