tool post holder swap? atlas 6"

I took a look at mine and it can be repaired by brazing or jb. missing pieces and previously brazed as I've found left over brazing. That canada one is quite pricey.
 
I also think a picture of the broken one would be helpful.

a pic won't help. its broken basically right where the t slot begins, there are 3 jagged previously brazed pieces and some of the broken pieces are missing.
 
It sounds like the lathe was rode hard and put up wet. Must have had several crashes. Way back when I learned to braze, you wouldn't pass the class unless the parent metal broke before the brazed repair. Do you have a mill? Maybe make some new parts like billh51 suggested, watch TubalCain-Mr. Pete's youtube channel for ideas.

BO check your other thread in the "can anyone make something for me". Some suggestions there.
