I finally worked up the courage to try and repair the broken grillebar again.
I was not looking forward to cutting notches in the back of the grillebar at each break.
But I managed to get this done without breaking it any further than it already is.

Since my Dremel cutting disc cut a fairly wide slot, I decided to use pieces of a small drill bit to reinforce each break instead of the metal edge from a ruler as I originally intended to do.
Sorry, I could not capture pictures as I was gluing the pieces together as I had to work fairly quickly before the metal epoxy set...it was already getting somewhat stiff by the third break.
After a few minutes, it looked like this:

Wish me luck, folks...I'm keeping my fingers crossed...
...I'll find out tomorrow whether or not this is successful.
