Seat lug broken off - Any ideas on Repairs?

The VFR400 (NC30 - R3N Model '92) has a broken seat lug where the front seat pad bolts onto the seat unit, looks like someone had tried to prise the seat up.

These seem to be a weak point on the body work, I have tried epoxy resin but it failed in the cold weather - too rigid. When I take the seat unit off it breaks easily.

Not sure what to try next, anyone got a solution to this, I can't be the only one with this problem?

The Haynes manual shows the seat attaching at the rear, mine has two lugs either side of the seat.

Thanks

Carlos

Done my seat lug 6 weeks ago, worked a treat.
