stuff can be a real $ saver, and.. they ain't kidding, you can drill and tap it! Had an ear on an alternator bracket, with a threaded hole, cracked in the middle of the hole, couldn't find another bracket, and was running low on time.. my buddy said , just try this, really! Well I mixed it up, (two parts), filled the crack and most of the threaded hole, let it dry.. drilled it out, tapped it.
Had every intention of getting the right part later, but never did.
I drove that thing for 4 years and it never came apart, guy I sold it to drove it for 2 more, before the engine quit!, bracket still held.
