Hi Henry...


I would try finding some longer screws that would match the same screws 
(thread wise)  used to hold the grinder together and make a bracket that 
would conform to the shape of the grinder at the points where the screws 
are inserted into the grinder.  In effect,  you would be "bolting" the 
brackets to the grinder and hold it together at the same time...   
another thought would be to make brackets shaped to conform to some of 
the flatter features of the grinder and use some automotive type of band 
clamps ( the kind that tighten up with a screwdriver)  to tighten up the 
brackets around the grinder.
