Check the Racing Beat site for Devcon plastic steel putty. Works great.

If you don't trust Devcon, you can also have a good welder fix it; not applying to much heat the housing won't warp or get stressed. I have done it and it wasn't a problem...

Welding or brazind dont work. We try that. The only fix for the problem was Marine Tek.
