I say, this is getting REALLY interesting for me! Metallurgy and welding are two subjects i know very little about, so i do appreciate all your input, folks. Today is my day off, and it's when i take Mother shopping, but I will be banging on my friends door as soon as i return home again, presenting him with all the pieces and a nice chunk waste material for him to toast with his oxy.
The information about TIG welding the two metals sounds very encouraging! God forbid there should be a simple solution to all this. It sure goes against everything my Father taught me, to glue something like this together. Once all the repair sections are welded together (away/off the ? Mg stuff), it doesnt really require a lot of welding to properly the two metals/pieces together. If TIG welding is the way to do it, my guy can do that easily! His work is fantastic.
I'll let you know what we have discovered, later on today.
