Find a piece of plastic, aluminum sheet, or 18g steel sheet and cut it to the shape of the tab. I'm talking about the entire rounded area and about 1 inch on the back side. Trace where the hole will be at and mark your drill point. Notch off the squared area with a dremmel tool. Secure the pc. using 3 short screws with speed nuts or you can bolt it if you'd like. Put one on each side of the tab and on the back with epoxy. drive the screws upwards of course. Once mounted place the nut on your new pc. don't forget to drill a hole. that thing won't go anywhere.
