Pleyel action brackets

[David Doremus]

Anyone have any ideas for repairing or replacing action brackets? I just 
saw a turn of the century Pleyel, mostly good shape except that all the 
action brackets are broken at the top front where the hold the hammer 
rail. Needless to say its impossible to regulate. They seem to be a soft 
metal and are very thin at this point, and Im curious about the 
possibility of welding or if I should look into gluing one together and 
using it as a pattern to cast 4 new ones. Is there a standard treatment 
for problems like this?
