That's what I was trying to fix...just that. It does take alot of stress at that place, so if you try the fix, be sure to use a very strong epoxy or something. I don't think the metal is weldable, but I'm not positive about that. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bull island dave Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 It's not pretty, but I have had good luck with JB Weld and some touch up paint. Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qha_vn Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 some epoxy resin is claimed to be able to hold up to 2 tons, simply make sure that we use the right one in the right way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
