I am pretty sure that can be welded back on. There is a guy here in Sheffield that has done a few Ally welding jobs for me. Get looking in the Yellow pages for someone local. Or ask some small engineering workshop, they may be able to point you in the right direction........ good luck.

Get a good man to MIG it. A wipe of filler and a bit of care should then sort it.

That's the way I'd go-Tig is prettier but it'll get a shedload hotter.

Olly
Sorry to hear about the accident.
To take a different tack....Is it really a problem?
It could be TIG welded back on however.
Try Task Welding in Hilsea, I've used them before and can reccomend them.

to be fair you could probably drill coresponding holes in both the broken casting and the remaining cav plate and fit some stainless dowels with some special glue to hold the lot together. With a little filler and paint it'll be fine.
I've got some stainless dowles and some devweld glue you could use, would be rock solid

 Or perhaps some stiff cardboard and some brown parcel tape, it's ever so sticky.

Yes Yes yes all very funny
Aren't RIBs glued together 
But seriously we use a glue for sticking lead to stainless and is excellent stuff. Will save you on the welding fee's, just say the word Olly.

Well welding it would be a bit of a challenge, now wouldn’t it? Seriously why would you bond lead to stainless steel? Only things I can come up with are some sort of bearing or balance weights..or something architectural ..or cladding for protection…?
