Any suggestions on how to fix, was thinking about finding some kind of epoxy and to put it around the it...

Thanks for the help...

Find a piece of plastic, aluminum sheet, or 18g steel sheet and cut it to the shape of the tab. I'm talking about the entire rounded area and about 1 inch on the back side. Trace where the hole will be at and mark your drill point. Notch off the squared area with a dremmel tool. Secure the pc. using 3 short screws with speed nuts or you can bolt it if you'd like. Put one on each side of the tab and on the back with epoxy. drive the screws upwards of course. Once mounted place the nut on your new pc. don't forget to drill a hole. that thing won't go anywhere.

sorry late on the reply,
did get it fix, by doing the following

1) bought a piece of Aluminum
2) Took the aluminum and shape it into a bit of the lower lip, see photo
3) Then marked where I need to drill where the bold had to go thru
4) drilled the hole
5) did a couple of test fits
6) took a guess on the expo
7) Expo the piece in place
8) but the clip and bolt in to make sure it work
9) Used some big clips to hold tight
10) then riveted it together
