Thanks for the replies. I'm going to try to attach a few photos of the broken piece and the crumbling material. Never mind the photos - I will read up on how to do that.
Steve- the broken piece is down at the narrow end, about 4" from the bolt hole that connects to the top bow frame. I thought I would make a steel plug to fit inside the tubular part inside the break and get the tubular part TIG welded to the plug. I don't know if that will work or not because the metal is pretty thin where it broke. Possibly rusted from the inside out. I was waiting to try that after I see if I could insert wood(or plastic) strips in the curve of the iron.
