Finally riding a big boys bike
I have a Schwinn Hornet that had a loaf seat where the bracket had broken away from the seat pan. The design of this was really poor so it's no wonder it failed. A guy I work with does some welding on the side so I talked with him about re-welding. However, after reviewing the design and various options, we came up with a completely different fix. He riveted a larger plate to the seat pan, then welded the bracket to the larger plate. This thing is now rock solid. Hope this helps someone else.
