TBH I'd have said the same, it'll be paper thin round those holes, You'll need to plate it at least but I wouldn't expect it to last long, If it's not a DIY or mates rates job I'd put the cash towards either a good used one or a new stainless system.

Mates rates is definitely out :\

You could bodge them. I’ve not had much success with fillers (GunGum etc, always flakes off within a few miles)… perhaps try high temperature silicone sealant and wire some thin steel sheet (e.g. from food cans) around to hold the stuff in place, but it would only be a temporary solution.
Welding would require some complicated shapes to be fabricated to bridge all the wafer-thin bits so would end up being pricey, and chances are that the rot has spread beyond what you can see so even that won’t be a long-term fix.
I'd recommend some stainless ones if you have the budget for them.

There are some painted secondhand originals on eBay at the minute for £50 or if yiu have the funds avaliable the stainless ones are only £200 brand new. Bargain compared to most bikes I've had to replace them on haha
