Hugh, if it is an aluminum or white metal type material that needs repair, there's a product
out that will allow the home handyman to fix it with only a propane torch. It's brazing, not welding.
Stronger than original material, you can file it, drill it, chrome plate it etc.

Thanks George, Avlite does have the complete light assembly but I wanted just the type B casting so I could build up a type B assembly using the parts from a type A light I have on hand. I have now located a type B casting, which requires weld repair, so I can put some sweat equity into it and have the unit I need. I'm happy with that unless some member has a unit which does not require weld repair. I would be interested in it.

Bob,
Did you get it as a complete flying airplane or was it already disassembled?
Do you have any before and after photos?
