[QUOTE="ogrilp400, post: 9484, member: 88"] [b]UFM Repair[/b] G'Day Pete, It sounds from your description a little like a hole has been cut in the side of it for some particular reason and a patch brazed over the top. I am surmising that it would be fairly easy to repair. The patch must be removed by careful cutting and grinding. Don't try to remove it by heating and melting the braze, this will most probably result in the braze material going deep into the granular structure of the steel and you will have to cut that out too. The edges of the hole should then be evened out and made more regular. Next a piece of sheet steel the same gauge as the original must be cut and filed to perfectly fit the hole and the edges weld prepped. A competent tig welder can then weld the piece in place and with careful grinding and sanding the repair will be almost invisible. Without actually seeing it, it is difficult to make a definite analysis though. Phelps. [/QUOTE]
