Default Re: Welding Muncie broken ears... any suggestions???

I brought mine to a local aluminum wheel repair shop. It only had a hairline crack, but the repair they did was invisible. Most large cities will have a few of these wheel repair places.

I got one that needs an ear (upper right side) and I have no ear to lend.... It's too bad too, the trans is a really nice one. I guess someone could build an entire ear couldn't they ?

Yep. When UPS 'modified' my case the piece that was broken came out of the packaging never to be seen again. Rick used some scrap material he had in the shop and recreated the missing piece.

I second the recommendation to send it to Jerry MacNeish @ Camaro High Performance. Their aluminum welding skills are amazing; just look at some of the disaster intakes he's brought back to near-nos. And being a racer, he knows that a muncie ear repair needs to be strong as well as looking good. Good luck, BCD.
