When you get on the rear brake, that arm is basically just pushing directly upward on the master cylinder, right?

Since the stroke is not very long, it's basically a linear path of travel for that attachment point on the lever. It's not pushing orthogonal to the arm or any heavy shear type situation like that. What you did there will be fine, in my opinion.

Maybe throw a couple loops of safety wire in those two holes as well, just for redundancy, and periodically check to see if the JB weld or any of the three wire loops are showing signs of breakage. Use the thick gauge (.032 or .041).

Actually,I've considered that as well and almost did it before I took the pics but as stated I'm a bit leery of it breaking while I'm on the brakes hard so.... Thanks Chris,a vote of confidence coming from you carries alot of weight but I'll probably just replace it...
