You could consider looking at the surface this rode on, might want to polish it a bit... This is a pretty common part, as it's real common for people to rob side shifter boxes to fill top loaders, and this will be a left over...
My first thought about building this up would be to use brass, easy to apply by torch. And brass runs well on steel... Or maybe tig on some bronze... Finnish with a file...
