Hi Classiclincoln,

That LOOKS like chromed cast. Are the broken edges porous??
Obviously, finding a good replacement would be optimal, but if you can't, I'd say a good machinist or specialty welder could repair that for you. My guess is they would drill the broken ends and insert a couple of pins for strength, then bevel the joint surfaces, braze the break and dress it smooth. You'd have to get it rechromed. Probably a bit expensive, and would take some time, but better than a bust. I've seen some very impressive cast repairs in the past. Chris.
