I'd vee the tab and TIG braze with silicon bronze or other non-fuming
bronze rod. It's easy to do, requires no pre/post heat, and will put
very little heat into the head.


Never having brazed with TIG, I'd try that first on a scrap head to
see how it turns out for me.

Failing that, I'd use four small flathead screws and Loctite 271.
