My plan to fix mine is to bend up some rod to incorporate both tabs. I plan
to shape the rod so it actually goes in along the bottom lip, up the back
side of the cover and inch or two, over accross the cover, down, and accross
the lower lip to form the second tab. This will take the concentrated
stress off the lower lip and distribute it to the body of the battery cover.
In your case I'd rough up the back of the cover and JB Weld the above wire
ceation to the cover.

Okay, the rearmost tab on my left sidecover is AWOL. I need to fashion a
replacement. I'm tempted to grab some small diameter mild-steel rod and
attempt to 'spot' weld it into place with my wire-feed welder. I've
thought about partially submerging the sidecover in water to help
dissipate heat in an attempt to save the paint. Any suggestions for a
better technique?
