Question chances repair would hold?

my 01 quadrunner 500 front differential housing mounts were broke got the front 1 sorted out rear 1 is broke in half what are the chances of it holding if i used those aluminium brazing rods and mounted a steel tube to repair that back mount? or would a heli arc weld be better? or am i boned and forced to pay $250 area for a lousy piece of aluminium?

for the cost of aluminium brazing rods i dont see why it wouldnt be worth a try but test it good in your yard before you hit the trail to make sure you dont get stranded

or take it to a fab shop and for around $50 they will make it good or better as new
