You need some material to make a bracket. I really cannot help you there. I would head to the hardware store and look for some steel strap. The bracket shown above will work but I would prefer it if it was blank so I could drill my own hole.
After I have the bracket solved, I would bond the replacement on the backside with some JB Weld. I would drill my own hole, fill the hole in the play field with some wood dowel, install the guide and drill a new hole in the play field.
Quoted from pintime:It can be welded my local welding shop has repaired several brackets for me
I like your welding idea, but the last time I asked a weld shop to do a small job the welder told me he got $55.00 just to turn his welder on.
Quoted from Tranquilize:If it's behind the ball guide and under a plastic (which I'm not sure of, but most of these screws are out of sight) how is it going to look like crap?
Agreed. I have a screw and a mini-post rubber behind one of mine.
Quoted from cottonm4:Thanks for posting the outcome.
Actually, you should probably see if he can weld a small piece of rod or a piece of square block over that weld. What you do have will probably break again.
