Broken side radiator bay door latch

Hi, the latch has broken off on our side radiator bay door.  It looks like the latch may have been riveted on.  Should I epoxy the latch back on or is there a better way to repair it?  Thanks for the help!

Drill it and re rivet it

This was one of the first problems I faced with my Foretravel five years ago. My message thread is located here (the pictures are in reply #9):

Door Latch on the Front Driver-side Door

My JB Weld repair is still working after five years.

Hope this helps,

I just realized we had not replied to this thread to say thanks for the replies.  We've decided to go the drill and re rivet option so will call Foretravel on Monday for the rivets.  ^.^d
