[QUOTE="garauld, post: 1343945, member: 371"] Welding is out of the question. I suspect the part is made from 2024 high strength aluminum after looking at the failure photos. 2024 is not weldable. From Wiki: [I][SIZE=14px]Aluminum alloy 2024 is an aluminum alloy, with copper as the primary alloying element. It is used in applications requiring high strength to weight ratio, as well as good fatigue resistance. It is weldable only through friction welding, and has average machinability.[/SIZE][/I] IMHO, It probably would be a good thing if the new part was made from steel. [/QUOTE]
