2 bottom bolt loops on y pipe broken

I pulled my y pipe and the bottom portion of the two bottom bolt loops are gone. Is there a way to repair just those loops the bolts go through. The rest of the y pipe is in great shape.

If there is enough left may still be good

I was alittle surprised there was never really any water in the bilge. I've had it welded and will check for any other issues before I bolt it back up
