Hold off on cutting the bracket. drill the offending hole to a size that you like and center it , then get a pice of solid bar or thick wall tubing , Chuck it in a lathe or drill press vice, drill a pilot hole ,thread the part to 12x1.5, trim the bar to a snug size for the hole , .001" interference , round off the top of the insert to match the bottom of the original hole. Drill some rosette holes to anchor the new part, a beveled edge at the open end for welding, heat the repair hole and insert he repair part , weld .
Just a thought
