Cracked Hurst Shifter Mechanism Repair

[Sam69sat]

Any welding tips or other advice on repairing a hairline crack on a 1970 hurst shifter? I know i can buy a new one but i don't want to spend $120 for a replacement part.

V it out a little, clean the grease and oil out, pack something inside to block off any dingleberries from getting into mechanism, pull the trigger and weld. Don't get too frisky on the heat. 5 second job on a wire feed, welding wise, if even that. You'll spend more time on just prepping for the weld. Easy.

I'd TIG it.. but.. same deal as ^^^^

TIG welding will be soooo much smoother and ya don’t need to break out the grinder.
