need some carb help!

at the cocopah turkey classic we broke off our air cleaner stud that is in the carb broke clear off from the carb body.

Question is does anyone know how we can fix this or is there something we can buy to change how to hold the air cleaner on?

Can you tig weld a carb? would really like to use this same carb, its really old but works really well. thanks for any help.

you can buy a good copy of a HP Holley center (main body) from Pro Form

Just make sure you get the right one
