although the chances are not good since the part was originally
vulcanized with heat and pressure, I would try the roof flashing sealer
that is made with polyurethane. It takes longer to set up, like 3 days
but has excellent shear, cohesion, and seems to be temp stable. I would
grind edges away to create a LARGE fillet around the joint as it appears
most of the force is a sliding/twisting motion. you might consider
putting a couple of bolts through the rubber to the metal with clearance
holes in the rubber to accept a quantity of the poly also.
