Default fix for broken cup in front stub axle?

I have searched, and cant find a fix for the front stub axle cup. Its the part that is in the nuckle itself. the pin broke half of the cup off. does anyone have a fix for this besides buying a new chassis? does anyone have a spare they are willing to sell? (I think mine is a gen2. It has 1 pin inside the axle instead of three, and still has rivits on rear shocks.)

Thanks.

I am assuming there is no fix for this since nobody has replied with help. A freind of mine took the stub axle home last night to fix it. He was going to fill the broken pieces with a welder and re-grind it to shape with a dremel. Hope it works, or I will have to buy a new chassis.

well he was right he fixed it! He welded it up and then reformed the shape with a dremel on the inside, and re-cut the slot in the cup. It looks stronger than it was to begin with. I put it back together last night and it works great.
