If it's one of the curved metal brackets that attaches to the bottom board and the pedal mechanism, the part can be purchased through Schaff or Pianotek.
It's a pretty simple, remove the broken and replace with the new,
project. Kind of hard to crouch down under there, though.
Good luck.
Mark.

Hi Don:
Is this a grand piano or upright? Not sure what sustain bracket is.. is it like the pedal brackets on an upright? I'm a bit confused. Photo?
Thanks.

Hi,
This needs to be drilled out and a new one soldered in. An easy job for a machinist if you’re not set up for it.

Oh! Yes, of course. If there's a way to drive it out (if the
rod is drilled all the way through), you can get a replacement rod
pin. I have used a torch and silver solder to install a new one.
If need be, you can drill the old one out, though probably not so
easy to get it exactly in the same line as the other two. But
then you can bend it to match the others. It's do-able. I would
not use glue to hold it in place, IMO. Schaff has damper rod pins
(unbent it appears) #545, which look like you just have to drive
them into the rod (has flutes like for pedal pivot rods). Then
you wouldn't need to solder them. The catalog lists them per 100,
just enough to last for many lifetimes of piano repair.
Good luck.
