I find that in the hardware section of Home Depot they have blank steel & aluminum stock (plain rods/bars/sheets/threaded rods/angle iron/etc). I would make a bracket or bracket repair piece and rivet or sheet metal screw this where needed. Plastic cable ties work well for odd and tight places where a strong fastner is needed too. Drill a couple-o-holes and thread them through. Tighten-em-up and your done.
