Wow! Scary thought, an owner changing major front clip parts! I think i'd trash the whole side that came apart and install new if I were you--I can't imagine some of the forces applied to bolts, bushings, arms, etc...when the bracket failed! Are you gonna try a homegrown fix, or will you farm it out?? You might look at 'Engineer To Win' and it's companions for ideas to eliminate this from recurring. I am not familiar w/ Unique per se, but yours has got to be a ringing endorsement--not many owners would have anything good to say if they went thru what you did!! Love to see pics if you can, when you can!! I wonder if the frame was affected by 1; the improper weld or 2; the bracket failure?? Very interesting!
