Just slap some JB Weld on it. Good to go.

make sure you heat up that metal first, before you weld it up, or it’ll just snap again, high nickel rods too.

Guy on the BB has a set of Shankles with new gaskets for sale. I’m so tempted.

I bet I could get a spare from Alfa Parts Exchange for what it would cost to repair, though. $125 in shop time or $75 + shipping for a clean one from Larry.

My mechanic told me that most Alfa V6's are now 50% Helicoil by weight and volume.

Good luck with that. I had to hire a guy to drill out a broken stud for my timing belt tensioner. Took a couple of hours of drilling, than 20 minutes to get the Helicoil in. It's perfect now.

That one isn’t mine, but I have a similar problem on my old truck. It’s the rear-most stud, the one hiding under the a/c evaporator box.

Again, this isn’t my truck, but it’s the same engine as mine. It’s inaccessible from underneath, so I have to pull the evap coil to get to it.
