If its like my V, it appears to be mild steel which should weld easily.
Best imo would be to remove the old bolt assembly and fab a new one, assuming that piece is not available.
Ive had to weld several fabbed pieces to the old steel in different spots on my car, it welds well.
if there is enough room, I suppose you could clean up the threads with a die and use a short threaded coupling and a piece of all thread or cut off bolt with some locktite.
One thing I don't know is if its hardened like a grade 5 or 8
