I am busy to take wrecked 1915 Touring apart to build it up again and I found this one.
I don't think it has to do with the accident last year. It must have been broken before, to much dirt on it.
Maybe J.B. Weld??
Thanks

Re: How to repair this one??
Andre,
JB Weld is a good option. Remove the bolt, clean, clean, and clean again. Make sure there is no oil/grease or rust. Slather on a bunch of JB Weld and let it cure well. Shape the outside to match the original ear proportions. Drill and tap the threads to match the bolt and you should be back in business.
BUT, if it's not leaking now and you do not need to take it apart, I would recommend leave it alone until a problem arises and it needs the repair.
Good Luck
Terry

I agree, if its not leaking don't mess with it. Consider the risk & reward in just removing the nut and bolt.
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Had the same problem. Brought it to a welder who welded up the missing section and tapped it for the 3/8 x 24 tpi bolt.
