Hi Gary

.try Machine Part Welding in Penrose..

actually I need to do something similar and as I work in that area..I will check out and let you know...

they have done industrial work for us in the past and weren't greedy.

Generally the simplest way to repair it will be to braze it. As long as you are going to paint it you will not see the gold color from the braze.

I'll put a vote in for industrial grade epoxy.

There's one type, called PC7, that I've seen hold better than a railroad spike (two were epoxied together, then pulled apart....the spike broke before the epoxy). You could also experiment with the venerable JBWeld.
