I had considered asking our mutual friend Jennifer (allescence username here) to do that, but it won't be enough. Because the old busted up one is 61mm wide and the one I made to print is 60mm, the two angled sides are also the wrong angle and would need a lot of build-up. I don't thin it's worth it because starting from a new block of material wouldn't take much longer than that whole process and you'll have a clean, solid part with no welds.

Lost in translation Dave. Do you mean you would have just heaved the made bad one toward the nearest large body of water?
BTW Darren, what do you suppose the shiny spot on the surface of the Ø43mm boss is from? Is that in contact with a rotating part or something? Should I be concerned about getting that height absolutely EXACT to the old one?
