If the elements are still partially attached, you could use aluminum foil tape (not duct tape). They sell it at Lowes for duct work. Tightly wrap it around the broken area of the elements. If it seems flimsy you can break it off completly, use wood dial rod. Choose a diameter that fits tightly or a slightly larger diameter and sand it down to fit tightly . Insert into the element at the fracture, then wrap. If this fails to work you can buy aluminum rod. Cut it to the length of the missing/broken element. This length should be equal to the length of both rods combined. drill and screw it to the boom, any way possible.
