Swingarm Pivot Hole Repair

I'll drop a some pics here but wanted to know how you folks would go about repairing this as welding doesn't seem to be holding well at all and now the one side is completely cracked off.


I'm kind of thinking of just finding some scrap steel that is thicker and I know won't break like the Chinesium and weld it to the existing bracket.



This started happening back in July-- at first I managed to JB Weld it which held for about a month. Then I stick welded it a few times and each time the weld still broke.

In the last 2 pics you can see the front of the hole completely broke off.
I ended up welding a washer to the outside as well as welding the spacer piece on the inside the best I possibly could.


I also went to a bike shop and asked how much they would charge to repair this back in August and he told me $250 to make a new bracket and cut the existing out to weld it up. But for that price I may as well buy a CRF frame off eBay.


For those curious this is a 2020 TBR7 with a little over 10k - 15k miles - honestly lost track when the odometer broke on the original dash.
