Spyder Headlight Mounting Tab Help

Hey everybody! I remember some thread about this before the shift in forums, but I can't seem to find it anywhere! I've got a set of used spyder headlights I'm retrofitting and both of them have broken mounting tabs. I'm thinking maybe epoxy some sheet metal folded over the sides, but I don't know if that would last. Anyone done plastic welding? Maybe that would work? Anyways, here's the damage:

Well, thanks to a few members form here and w-body forum, I settled on using plastic welding! Used a piece of thick polypropylene from an old intake housing I had lying around and fixed the tabs! Not saying it's the best looking, but it's stronger than it was stock! I'll probably go back and add reinforcing to the actual mount later once I get everything finalized and back together. Here's the result for now though!
