Put the 13 innards inside the 05 engine case. And keep the torsional damper off the 13 for the 05.

You should be able to weld those mounts using the right gear....a mate of mine is going to weld up a hole in the case without pulling motor apart....he's been in the welding game many many years & reckons he can do itI think welding is out of the question, without possibly trying on a completely stripped case. Too much material drawing away heat, I think, would make a weld job "iffy" at best. I do have a nice TIG machine, but never tried aluminum yet. Just kicking things around. 2005 that has to be split to fix shifter, 2013 with broke mounts. Guess I just have a pile of spare engine parts huh?
I've seen his welding before & its impressive!!

stand up straight and grab the world by the a$$
I am not a welder
when i have had trans cases welded they set the cases broken area facing up.
so when they weld that section usually falls a little. so if it would be a prob u might need to stabilize it

Allan Millyard doesn't seam to have any problems welding up engine cases and other parts.
Depends on the purity and composition of the aluminum, seems like I read somewhere that Triumph was using lower grades of aluminum. Cleaning and fitment could also be problems.
