Would you weld or use Lumiweld / Devcon putty to fix this ?

[QUOTE="eeshaw, post: 492727, member: 25150"] What I've done in situations like this before, is if a bolt hole gets stripped out I'll tap it with the next common size in a metric thread or vice versa. Remember that aluminum usually uses a fine thread so try to use them when required. Doing this will save you generating any heat from welding or having to go the epoxy route. If a "boss" is broken like the one pictured I'd do a cold fix if at all possible before using the heat. Save that for your last resort. [/QUOTE]
