Possible recliner repair?

[Cworthy]

I'm not sure whether this recliner is OEM on my 2003 Mobile Suites 36ck3, but I am sure it must be repaired or replaced. The support bars for the metal ring are broken.

I cannot find any indication regarding the manufacturer. If anyone knows, or has a suggestion, TIA!

In this photo, it looks like only one is broken, but all four connections have broken:

You could remove the ring base and take it to a welding shop, they should be able to beef it up enough to work.

Whoa! That's way too easy...why didn't I think of that?

I'll do that next week and let you know the result.

Thanks,
Craig

I apologize for being so late, but wanted to say thanks again. A local welding shop did a beautiful job, and the ring base may now outlast the recliner!

I will keep this in mind should one of mine break--thanks for the idea.
