Grady (and I'm sure some others) sell a greatly reinforced version of the bracket, with some gussetting welded across one of the sides. In the mean time take it clear off the car. It will be fine without it for a while. I would not bother trying to weld it back together, the original design is prone to breakage, I've seen many cars where it's just missing altogether.
