Now, it's a simple lever, I think I could easilly make a new one out of steel or non-cast aluminum. However, since now I have a TIG welder, I'd like to at least attempt to repair this
![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_e_confused.gif)
So, I was wondering what's the best thing to do to get a good of a result as possible?
The broken pieces fit up very well, there are no missing chunks. So, I was thinking maybe I should just fit them up snug, and fuse weld them, instead of filing them down and making a groove? Is it worth it to torch the aluminum first, to bake off any oils or whatever on the outside?
Thoughts, suggestions?
