Is welding the hinge the only method of securing it?

Does anybody know how to secure it without welding?

If you tig or mig welded right through the center of each screw hole you could essentially spot weld each hole and seal the firewall. This could potentially be a clean fix for this. Alternatively you could force JB-Weld through the screw holes (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) to bond the part and seal the holes, however, epoxy used in that applications has low shear strength.
