Anyone ever tried patching a A/C Condenser?

So here's the skinny. I'm stationed in Germany and have a '10 Clubman S. The problem is that there is two 1/16 inch holes in my condenser from the plastic bracket that failed between the Radiator and the Condenser. Our lovely 4yr 50K warranty does not apply for us in Europe. Only valid in the states. The dealer wants 600 Euro for the fix. Screw that! Has anyone successfully JB Welded one of these babys?

I would order and install a universal first...
Since the ac system operates at such high pressures....kinda doubt an epoxy like jb-weld would work for more than a few minutes before failing......add to it it is high psi with oil....
Have it welded....or replace it.

Radiator repair shops can solder/braise them.
