Cracked pedal assembly

The pedal assembly support on my 1983 is cracked through on the passenger side. It creaks and clunks when the clutch is used, and upon further inspection, I saw that the entire support flexes a lot as you push the clutch in.
I am looking to either repair or replace this part.

My question is, does anyone here have any experience with welding or otherwise repairing this part?
If repairing is not feasible, then I will pull a "new" one from a junkyard. Is there any information on year-to-year differences here? Can I use one from an '87-91?

Picture of the damage below, looking slightly upwards from the passenger side of the pedals.

Ya no repair of this part it is a low grade magnesium alloy get it any where near a welder and it burns.

You need to replace or find a mechanical way (fish plate etc) to fix it.

Darn. I guess I'm headed to the junkyard, then. I had visions of trying to fabricate a custom steel one, but I don't think that would be very easy.

No Ford dealer or obsolete parts vendor has any of these three part numbers. There are none on ebay, either.
