Brakes 86 Pressure sensor/ proportioning valve

[Rdub6]

In taking my proportioning valve off, I managed to break the mounting bolts. I was hasty with the first, but even after being careful on the second, it snapped.
Anyway, I know I can eliminate and use a tee and then add my adjustable valve here (for my rear disc swap). But then I lose my pressure sensor.
I started messing with the tabs that seem to hold the bracket on, but it seems those will break also if I keep going at it.
Anybody have any suggestions how to get this bracket off the valve, so I can replace the studs?

The only way I know to remove something like that is a dremel with a cut off wheel. That prop valve is pushed through a rectangle hole and hammered to spread it out and lock it on. You'd have to carefully grind the hammered metal edges off. Once it's off I'm not 100% on how you'd get it back on. It's possible you could use a hammer and chisel to spread the edges out far enough.

I started with a hammer and chisel, hoping I could pry them up, take off the bracket and replace the studs, and then hammer the tabs back down, but it seemed like I was going to do more damage than good.
I’ll have to think about this one for a while!
