the mount that holds the base broke off, tried JB weld for mufflers 850 degree crazy glue and doesn't work, any suggestions would be appreciated, had to double sided duck tape for a bandied . Bought another whole assembly but don't want to install it til I can get this fixed or repaired .
Not sure about plated pot metal, its part of the fender, should be sheet metal. Either weld it back on or have someone who can do it and hope it doesn't screw up your paint to bad. You could try sourcing a different style tail light that perhaps mounts in another fashion (check cycle vision).
While the OP really didn't do a good job of explaining what was broke, it looks like he's trying to epoxy the tab that holds the tail light base on . I wouldn't expect epoxy to hold as shown. OP might get away with epoxying a tab if the tab was re-made with a large lap joint (say about 4-6 square inches on the inside of the fender.
The repair probably should be be welded. From what I can see the weld paint burn can be covered up by the tail light base if the heat is controlled with damp rags. In order to do the weld the tab should be welded from the back which means removing the fender.
I don't think that the taillight bas is pot metal. For the last 20-30 years, it's been made of plastic.
