Gixer1460 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 When one of mine got a crack in the fitting to core I did find someone to weld it but the guy wouldn't give any guarantee of success as it'd always be a contaminated weld from the inside - always leaked a bit thereafter so I had to replace it! Sorry - probably not what you want to hear! Quote Link to comment
