Broken steering rack mount fix?
 

I was wondering If I could fix the steering rack mount with durafix? I have the piece that broke off I just don't know how safe it would be. The dura fix looks like it would be strong enough. Any thoughts?

Dura Fix Aluminum Welding Aluminum Brazing Aluminum Soldering & Repair Rod is not sold on Ebay US or Amazon

Are you nucking futs?

Any attempted fix for that is pure insanity .

Thats what I thought. Just another parts to add to the scrap pile.

The only way I can think of fixing that would be to have an aluminum weld built up, ground, drilled & tapped. You can probably find a used rack for a decent price, do a rebuild and be ahead of the game.

Besides cutting/reinforcing/drill through/gluing/wrapping the entire attachment point (with something much heavier than hose clamps).....

Nothing s little jb weld and duct tape can't fix.

If you can fix that you might win an award.....a Darwin Award....

With enough time and money this could work but really just buy a good used one.

I bet the durafix rod use would fix the issue - and like a good weld - will be stronger than the surrounding metal. I have seen demos of the product, and have actually used it to fix a broken mounting tab on woodworking bandsaw table. Having said that, I would not use it for such an application as a steering rack.

what happened? That's a weird one?

Good, rebuilt units are cheap. If they are still out of you price range - try good used.
