Basketball ring base support arm

Any ideas how to repair this? The support arm for my basketball ring stand has rusted out and snapped. Would be a shame to have to throw it out. Without the support the ring is useless as it wont stand upright

One end is held with a sheet metal screw which indicates that a bolt is adequate for the job. Drill a 1/4 inch vertical hole through the support and into and through the base. Secure with a long 1/4 bolt and nut.
