Keep in mind you might need to have it re heat treated after welding on it.

would making a rod be easier and better?

Yes if it has the little tab at the front for the stop rod. All you need to do is get some thin wall steel tubing cut it to length smash the ends flat in a vice and drill the mounting holes.

then drill a little hole in the brake hub to attach the rod?

There should already be one? or is it a 60 brake?

Huh I dont know it seems like having the tab welded on the back seems like the only fix. But be aware that is big balls
