Here's some pix of the steering column brace that I repaired. I welded the pieces back together using a combination of mig and O/A.
I don't have pix of the corresponding area of the dash, but it was similarly cracked. I did the same, welding the remaining pieces and fabbing additional patch pieces in. The clamp for the steering column uses special nuts that are large square that fit into recesses on the brace so they don't need to be held with a wrench and allow some adjustment when clamping the column in place.
