Sounds like you are replacing the complete post,
but you needed to only cut the hanging part of the
post flat, install a short piece in the hole, and
add supports (splice).



Since it was ridgidly mounted in a hole in the
floor, it almost certainly broke in at least
two places, one above and one below the bumper.

Your point?
