Hi Curley,,Alli welding is usually successful, its hard to say if its possible to re weld. To do it properly it should be taken off,, at the same time I would have thought that one could be picked up second hand.

Hi Malcom,
I think it was only welded in place just the area one could reach.
I will have to look closer ,I just hope I do not need to strip all front

Thanks for you relpy
