Is the piece where its broken aluminum? If so, getting it welded would be the best choice, but...

If its not under stress or no weight hangs on it, believe it or not, JB Weld should hold for a long time. Clean the area first with electrical contact spray cleaner or brake parts spray cleaner. Give it at least overnight to dry.

we had a dirtbike that did something similar except it was on the clutch cover we jb welded that and rode it for yewars and it still held up to the day we sold it and a old friend of mine had a 98 xr 400 he never washed it the day he went to change the oil he went to back the drain bolt out and snapped a chunk of the case out we jb welded that also

I used JB Weld for a hole in the side of a case...
Clean it good ... NO Oil...
I used a piece of aluminum screen, because I was missing a piece the size of a quater, just roughed up area around the hole so that there was something for the JB weld to grip to.

I put a couple coats on.. Lasted a couple years, and it wasn't leaking when I sold it...

Good Stuff :D

I carry it in my tool box.
