Thanks no photos but what I did was took sheet rock adhesive fiberglass mesh tape and cut a piece about a 1/2" wide and inserted one each way in the form of a cross on each end of the lug. Then used a one minute self mixing epoxy syringe style and spread the epoxy on the mesh so it covered and flowed around the tabs and lugs itself. I then used a soldering iron to melt the mesh/epoxy out of the screw holes and lug insert hole when it dried. Seems to work out pretty well and much easier than the putty method. My lugs were really not cracked that bad though.

Thank you for the lug repair info! Always wonder how a mesh/epoxy would work. Sounds like it did just fine.
