I have a Norvel .061 with the 2 front mounting lug holes busted out after a nose in. I am contemplating using JB Weld on them. Has anyone had any experience or luck repairing mounting lugs with JB-Weld?

If I am imagining this correctly, I don't think it will work. JB Weld just isn't strong enough to provide a mounting structure. It will probably just crack off where it connects to the remaining part of the lug.
What might work---and I am really unsure of this-- is to use some of that aluminum welding rod (or whatever it is!) and braze on an extension that you can then shape with a file and redrill the mounting holes. I have seen commercials which show them doing what you are describing--but on a larger piece. But like I said, in a commercial/infomercial, everything looks easy and works great!

Three brands I have heard of is alumaweld, alumalloy, and HTS-2000. Of these, I have used alumaweld purchased from Eastwood.
If you go this route, make sure you practice on something else before repairing the engine.

I have tried this on the mounting
lugs of a L.A. .25.
I left the break rough and cleaned
it well beforehand. The J.B. weld
sanded down smoothly and looked great,
but it only lasted a few flights.

I made two sub mounts of 047 steel drilled to match originale holes. filled the voids with jb weld. I forgot the steel goes on top.

Thanks for the replies.
Work has kept me too busy for modeling lately, but I have figured out that in today's world
A
job is better than
NO
job so I am intending to hang on to mine as long as possible.
I am going to try your suggestion of bucking up the lugs with another piece of metal and then trying to JB Weld it, I will post results when I do it.
