I think I will try the JB Weld route first. I've never messed with the
stuff, but I guess now is as good a time as any. Thanks :>
If that doesn't work, I can always weld...best to start with less
invasive techniques.

Greg: 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.

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?
