The common useage for this situation on the M96 would be the exhaust manifold bolts ?
I own a mig welder and build things or repair things with it all the time. My mig is my favorite tool. I wish I had a tig and knew how to use it too. I believe a tig would not be better for this process because it's a slower welding process and would heat up the surrounding aluminum metal too much. You'll need a quick hot weld that a mig will give you. DWBOX, you might know someone who has a mig welder? I get not wanting to do that and my second recommendation would be to drill & tap another hole like Steve had suggested.
