Thief busted my ignition!

Had my DLX stolen from the house a few weeks ago and just got it back after PD recovered it underneath a bridge.
Battery is shot, presumably from being abandoned on its side. The bigger concern is that they punched out the cylinder to hotwire it, busting the left bolting point for that cylinder. Looks like Orion PS sells replacements for $70.
Do y'all reckon it'd be secure enough with just 1 bolt holding it in? There's a slight chance I can tap it for a larger bolt. Also considering a fat blob of some sort of glue.
Normally I'd tinker my way to a solution, but a broken elbow makes taking it apart next to impossible. Great start to the riding season, huh
