ALSO, and probably easiest -- Use 3 12 volt auto batteries wired in series, negative to positive, using 2 short wires and a jumper cable as an arc welder for 3/32 stick, using the pos. side of the circuit as ground which makes a stronger arc. Ordinary arc eye-protection required, #10 filter lens. This will make a surprisingly effective & durable weld-repair.
Hmmkm ... I would have used epoxy or superglue, and THEN wrapped well with duct-tape. After all, it IS a key suspension part. Even better, rewire the shop's main service buss for the buzz-box. OR modify the vehicle's existing generator as a welder. Alternatively, make a forge to use charcoal, melt some scrap steel and hammer-weld repair the part, making it twice as thick. Or cannibalize the mount off one of the rolling-stock parts cars.
I'm no Rambling Hiker. But shouldnt your jeep be a bit quieter?

The tape was okay but I think you went a bit overboard with the copperslip.
