Carb base Cracked Help!
Hey everyone, I've got a holley carb list 4777. When I was putting it on I overtorqued it and snapped off a mounting tab.

Any fixes short of spending $150-$200 on a new base plate? JBweld? I'm broke as hell right now and need my truck back on the road! Any Ideas would be great.
Thanks
Short
