   I am not sure I understand exactly what this is. If the U shaped part that is part of the drain trap I thought hardware stores had all those parts ready made. It sounds like this sink is not an antique so standard parts may be available.
   I think I would much rather have new stuff than patched stuff although I agree that BJ Weld can fix a lot of things especially with  a patch on it. I am old enough to remember sweat soldering patches on.
   Anyway, good luck with this.

I will try repairing it, but I have it totally disassembled at the moment, and I’ve got to get junk for redoing seals and that kind of stuff.

Rather than disassemble the sink plumbing, maybe repair the hole.  I often use JB-Weld, a two-part epoxy, and automotive places have two-part adhesives that will repair even a cracked engine sump or radiator..
