I use JB weld a lot, and it is incredibly strong and resilient, BUT...

Keep with the style of the times Matt - JB Weld didn't exist when this was made. Brass screw it together, or even brass crush rivets/pins (over-length pins crushed down in a shop press to friction fit TIGHTLY, then the head ground back and re-centrepunched to re-expand a bit)

Or, you can solder brass and alu together - I know some can do it with conventional tin/lead solder, others use tin/zinc, or you can use silver solder (probably more authentic?). You can even buy Alumiweld to solder it.

Food for thought. I just would not go JB Weld. I have had it last years, but it will eventually fail.
