Thanks guys. Repairs are already under way. And I've decided to incorporate several of your suggestions. I appreciate all the feedback ! More photos to come ...

So about JB Weld. "Cold weld" is probably a questionable marketing gimmick. There are a couple different JB Weld formulas. I've only used the epoxy putty for ABS plastics. If there's steel in it, it must be in dust form, because there's no sign of metal. It's thick and smooth like modelling clay. There's nothing metallic about it. And whatever it is, it's definitely not "welding".

The metal-on-metal version of JB Weld is a little different. It's not really "cold welding" either. I think it contains some steel dust mixed with hard epoxy resins for strength.

Under the pressures and forces we're dealing with, I don't think any adhesive/glue/epoxy will fix a broken bolt sled. Especially a metal one. JB Weld is good, but it can't perform actual miracles 😉
