My mechanic is a fabricator as well and quoted me $500 cash to remove the diff, cut off old mount, fabricate new mount and weld on and reinstall the diff.
EDIT: I have a buddy with a welder that would cut off and weld new mount on for free, so was hoping to go that route.

It's not like the mount was heat treated, just weld it back together. You don't have to fabricate a new one, bend it back and weld where it broke. If you want to get fancy then weld reinforcement over it. It should cost $20 if you paid someone.
