If you lived around here, it could be done for you probably for free. There is a
welder that works at Dan Fast Muffler and Brake repair here that has done some
excellent welding for me in both aluminum and stainless and he did the jobs so quickly
he declined to charge me. I had a cracked cast aluminum gear case cover that I was
certain would fail by cracking or warping but he welded it and did it by putting it
concave side down in about a half inch of water and welded the split in the middle
with a beautiful weld and it did not warp. He has also welded some thinwall 4130
tubing for me using mig and I was really impressed with the quality of those tiny and
perfect welds. I've had him weld some SS and I was impressed that he even knew the
correct gas mix for the job besides being able to identify the alloy and selecting the
correct welding wire.
You might find a muffler shop near you that has a similarly skilled welder with the
proper equipment to do this job with quality too.
