Metal expoxy?

Does anyone know of any epoxy like material that can be used to repair
a broken cast aluminum part? The part in question is a thin casting
used as a bracket to hold a saddle bag mount on a motorcycle and from
what I've been told is a bit of a pain to weld due to its metallic mix
and size. Just looking for any possible alternatives. The break occurred
across a bolt hole so I need to be able to drill or otherwise clear
the hole, which is open on both sides, after fixing the part. I also
will want to fill the back of the casting a bit (its hollow backed
now) to help increase its strength.

Thanks,
