| Unless I'm mistaken, that cover doesn't bear much stress. You might clean it up well and simply epoxy it inside and out with JB Weld. Welcome to M-J.

| Done correctly TIG is an extremely strong weld...I am an ex trades in this area...but am with Red on this. If the cover takes little stress fix it with a two part epoxy glue...don't forget to roughen the inner surfaces to provide a "key" for the glue.

| Very little, as in inch-pounds. Just enough to seal it.
