Default Folding chair cross bar repair without welding?

One side of the cross bar on the bottom of a metal folding chair broke due
to a bad weld. I don't have welding equipment. What is the next best way
to fix this?

The only solution I can think of is to use an L-bracket and two hose
clamps. But there's got to be a better way.


Drill a hole in each leg and use a piece of all thread rod. Put a nut on
the outside of each leg. Use as small of piece of rod as you can find.
