Uhm...no. It would be better to drill and rivet it on than it would be to use crap like jb weld. Why would you not have it welded like it is intended?

I could see riveting it in place just so you set the location for the welder. So its where you want it.

JB is awesome stuff, good for a great many things. But not for this, or anything structural.

I'm predicting the next thread title to be, "What to do about brake lines that were melted by welding"
