silver solder should fix it.
You must get the parts near to red hot, flux on the joint and feed in the solder, it should run into the joint easily.

silver solder ?  really ?  will that be strong enough for a centre stand    :-\
mind you, I have trouble with glueing things..

sell it now and buy a complete wreck, you obviously don`t want to ride a motorcycle very much..

Not black ?  surprised at that... I thought it should have chrome but also thought maybe there was a `deluxe` version,  thanks

Would a 1954 s/arm b31 have had a plain black tank or would it have had chrome sides ?

Thanks for all your comments, the choice i have is between a 1966 C15g (like the one i had a couple of years ago)  and a 1961 (i think) b40, both appear to be good and they are both runners, i am happy enough to decide which i would prefer for riding but which would be best for reliability, i appreciate they are old machines but i am leaning towards the side points 250 as opposed to the dizzy b40,  what do you think, any big problems with b40`s /

I am considering another single, either a C15 or a b40, my question is ..is there any advantage having a 350 ? my last c15 was very nice, handled well and was quick enough and i never got in the way of bigger machines on the twisty bits,  apart from uphill slogs where would the 350 score ,  ta     (c15 is favourite at the minute as probably has a lower seat  ? )
