A great trick for repairing cast alloy . Use super glue / crazy glue and add bicarbonate of soda to it before it goes off . The bicarb acts as a filler and sets rock hard , use glue then add a little soda then more glue in layers . You can build up broken diecast parts , repair abs plastic , and just about anything else that the glue will stick to . This stuff is so hard and so tough that you can drill and tap it to take a thread . Practice a little on scrap first and remember to use bicarbonate of soda [ from the cooking section of the super market ] , don't use washing soda .
