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.


Yes, for a few pennies more than the cost of a bracket, take it to a
friend that does have welding equipment. Works best with chair in one
hand, six-pack in the other


But that would damage the painted service and look bad. The threaded rod
looks like the best way. WW
