Cut the remnants off & fill them with grout. Get a 25g mounting plate. 
The plate has the female legs welded to it. Drill holes in the concrete 
for 'L' bolts and use concrete epoxy or whatever it is called to secure 
the bolts in the concrete. Use the base and some shims to keep the bolts 
in alignment while the epoxy cures. Better than new when you are thru.
