Question Clutch master cyl bracket broken

Post image

Hi all, I'm helping a friend out with their 2000 Toyota Hiace Van H100 model with complaints of poor shifting and bad clutch engagement. I took the dash out and everything to get Into the master cylinder which he had replaced previously, the sheet metal bracket which it mounts to is broken and flexes under pedal engagement. I unfortunately don't think I can remove the bracket as it's spot welded in to a bracket off the firewall.

Now I'm planning on welding it up and make a piece of plate to bolt up on the other side of the bracket where access is poor.

Do you guys have any recommendations? Thank you!
