Which steeda lca's do you have? If they are like mine...
You could probably order the mounting brackets from steeda, or have some made.

make a bracket out of some aluminum stock from lowes and get a reputable shop to TIG the brackets back on.

IMO they are trash, your going to have a hell of a time welding anything on them and getting it to be strong, since they are aluminum.

as long as they are taken to a reputable shop that is good with a tig welder then it shouldnt be a problem. you may look into a fabrication shop of some sort as they will have the most experience. you have to figure they were welded on there in first place.
