I have had very good luck on things like this by using a steel rod as an
insert for strength and epoxying it in place with JB Weld. I've used it
on door and window handles in this way and never had one break. It can't
be chromed so it would only do for something that doesn't need chrome or
can't be seen. A good soldering job using the solder to fix the steel
reinforcement in place also ought to work. The solder will melt at a
much lower temp. than brass and the steel rod will provide the strength.
It would still be delicate work to not melt the pot metal but it doesn't
need to be nearly as hot as brass to melt. I have not seen the door
handle on your Imperial (mandatory content) but I've used the JB Weld and
also the solder on lots of things as described above and they both work.
