Welding cast Al Brompton rear rack.... info please.

My friend's Brommie rear rack was damaged when it was checked in wrapped in bubble wrap inside an Ikea Dimpa bag.

We didn't check the bike for about 6 months after the flight, so no "culpability" with the airline.

The rack is broken at the bolt hole where the front of the rack is attached to the frame. Anyone ever welded cast Al successfully? Should be able to fashion a new "attachment point" on the rack instead of buying a new one and throwing the old broken one away.
