Kent quick weld service could probably handle the welding but it would cost you some bucks.
The other option might be taking a close look into a Loctite product. They have adhesives which when applied correctly, any failure will occur beyond the glued joint at the parent metal. And if you are able to install a few strategically located steel dowel pins, you may be able to minimize stress at the joint making a glued joint more practical. Take Care & Have fun Always.
