Fixing broken front handle

I wonder could anyone help me out here. I havehad a look in the froum to see if thius has come up before but don't see it, aplogies if it has.

 

I have a Husky 181, an old girl but still very capable. 2 weeks ago cutting some really big stuff I was forever hitting metal and I think when I hit a nail the jolt was so severe the top handle snapped at the base. I can get a replacement form the States (£40 after postage) but I am tempted to try a repair. Thing is, I suspect that area takes quite a lot of force and the repair would have to be pretty solid, like a short metal stripped drilled and bolted.

 

Anyone know if this is possible and worth doing?
