Default Convertible top main frame broken

Looking for suggestions.
The main frame component is broken where it attaches to a "pivot" point. This appears to be some type of cast metal. My only thoughts are to try to buy one from a wrecked car (or buy the whole wrecked car).

Then I was wondering if maybe a machine type shop could fabricate and weld something to repair it.

Anyone else have experience with this issue.

I assume the top has other issues too, but this is the first one to resolve.

FYI: My 370z is a 2010 with 24K miles. I purchased it with the top broken. My guess is the top was having other issues and the previous owner broke the frame trying to repair or pry on it.
