airfoil missing piece to attach, can i jbweld?

i bought a used airfoil, and the guy couldnt find the piece that attaches it to the TB......i have the screw, just not the piece to anchor it.

do you think i could jbweld (never used the stuff, just heard of it) it to the TB?

would superglue work? or would the engine heat melt it?


im looking for the easiest/cheapest fix.

i would think you could use a bolt and a washer you may need to grind the washer into a Y shape but i think it would work.

could you not simply use a standard nut instead?

i dont think grinding a washer would work, nothing to secure it too.

i HAVE the screw that fits the airfoil............but there is nothing to thread it into.

there is supposed to be another piece that attaches to the TB, and allows the screw to thread into it.

look at that pic........im missing the extra piece, it goes in the top hollow triangle of the TB.
