Default how to repair top casting on sidebowl carburetor???

Hello all, got a doozy for you. I was driving my A to the gas station and back and discovered that one of the ears to my carburetor has snapped off. amazingly it ran, albeit roughly, having to goose the pedal to get it down the road. now here is the question, how do I repair it? I don't want to put a standard zenith on it as it's a late 31 with the indented firewall, and this was a lovely example of a side bowl. now the break did not affect any passageways which is good and it was a clean break, can this be soldered or brazed on? I dont have the skill to braze and I know that welding cast is risky. if I wanted to gamble epoxy is not off the table but I would rather use more tried and true methods. thanks for your time and I hope we can figure something out.
