Does anyone have one they don't need? Mine broke where it fastens in the front. Does anyone know if cast aluminum is fixable?

I just talked to my fabricator friend. He says he can fix it.

Where's @sonny ? - Master welder.

Looks like I'll need a new pin too.

Can it be welded? Depends on quality of cast. No harm in trying.

Thanks. This is his regular job for the last 30 years or so. If anyone can do it he can. His name is Eric Bevins aka Dr Smash. He is renown in the 4x4 community. He welded my Ford D60 knuckle for me one time and I never had a problem with it up till the time I replaced the knuckles with Reid Racing knucks. If you ever need anything fabricated in the Carson City area he's your man.

lay that pin on a good heavy metal surface and smack it with a hammer
no harm in trying to straighten it

I'll give it a shot. I have a BFH and a old piece of V&T railroad rail.
