I would also recommend JB Weld and have used it for many applications. It is cheap, quick and if it doesn't work, you still have to take out the line and replace it. I have found you need to scuff up the outside (I use ~200 sandpaper) and clean the area to remove any grease. Then the stuff really sticks.

I also like the idea of going to a custom shop and getting a line built if (when?) the JB Weld fails.

But you will be a hero if the JB Weld Works!!
