Looking for Tumbler Reverse Bracket for 11x20 series 2000 Standard Modern lathe

I like the brazing myself , done right it melts into the pores of the casting making it much stronger then it's prior state of just cast. I'd pin it or drill and tap . Then grind vee channels in the brake , clean and braze it . Put it in a oven to cool down overnite or longer. But I've seen braised up parts put right back inservice. With no rebrakes or cracking.

Thanks Tim. Appreciate the info. I do have a friend that has special welding rods for cast iron. I will check into local welding shops as well.
Right now this is a spring project as the lathe is in the garage and temps have been -20C.
I certainly plan to take a lot of measurements as well. It is a pain that the folks rep'ing Standard Modern will not even send me an assembly drawing of the part, let alone dimensions. (Not like I am going to go into the lathe making business ).

Not sure if this could help, but there are a bunch of gov't surplus SM lathes at auction. Some of them are pretty rough, but the components may be worth parting out on the worst (cheapest) ones?
