I'm a cheap b*std, so I'd grind a little bevel in the crack, clean it really well with carb cleaner, then jb weld it with 1/4" overlap on either side.  Then I'd send the wife on an erand, throw a piece of 220-400 wet sand paper on the glass coffee table, wet it down and slide the adapter over it till I had a clean flat mounting surface.  Then when it's all clean and pretty, I'd install a new gasket and hand tighten the nuts with a wrench and call it good.  I've never had a weber leak at the gaskets in 10 years of running one so  :dunno:
RIP KYOTA

You can go through life being scared of the possible, or you can have a little fun and tease the inevitable.

Give a man venison, he'll eat for a day. Teach a man to hunt Blacktail, he'll be frustrated for life!
