Hi Peter, Yes I have brazed pedals back together many times. And depending on where the break is, you can lay in a reinforcing piece of metal on the underside to back up your weld. Brazing is joining a broken piece together using bronze welding rod. Most any good welder can do this.

Has anyone successfully welded a broken cast iron pedal from a pre-1900 upright? Moving damage...snapped right off.
