radiator braket broken

My upper radiator braket came off the radiator. Will JB weld hold this or i there another way to fix this. The radiator itself is fine and fully functional i have some zip ties holding it back for now but dont want to leave tham on there long the heat will cause them to become brittle after not too long also dont really want to buy new radiator because the on i have is fine lo leaks and all the fins are in good condition.

You could try the JB weld, don't know for sure if it will hold. Could you actually weld it, that would be stronger, or use some wire instead of zipties.

its the upper driver side braket, looks as if it was glued on to begin with steel braket and brass tank

You might be able to take it to a radiator shop and have them braze it back on for a couple of bucks.
