My bobbin winder broke off my belt guard on my featherweight. Suggestions on how to fix it. I know you can't weld it so has to be another way. Broke off flush with the machine, sitting here looking pitiful.

Did you notice that the treadle wheel is on the outside of the treadle frame, very common on the #8 treadles.
