Broken Fender Bracket

Hello EvoM. So yesterday evening the bracket in my fender broke. This would be the hole that connects the front bumper to the fender, that is closest to the driver side wheel up front near the transmission. I noticed my bumper was hanging this morning and checked it out and the metal broke right off and kind of feels brittle around the area.

So I'm wondering what my options are. Is there any way to remedy this or do I need to buy another fender?

Thanks!

Is this the area in question as an example?

I track my EVO & my front cover is a bit worked over, so I use the bumper latches. Maybe an epoxy type repair would work or some thin alum sheet to reinforce that area (riveted)

Same thing happened to me when I was backing out of my driveway and my lip caught on the curb.

I took a drill to the bumper and fender, just slightly more inward towards the headlight, and used a ziptie to keep them together. It actually ends up looking better than stock.
