Strip the chrome and clean the break and bevel the cracked edges. Have someone tig weld around the break and file down the weld smooth. Now just rechrome the lever and you'll never know it was ever broken. I've seen this done a few times. Some folks might tell you to braze it but brass and silver are not going to be very strong in this application. good luck, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA ++++++++++++++++++++ Nobody can do everything, but if everybody did something everything would get done. --Gil Scott-Heron-- ++++++++++++++++++++
