I went to my first Minuteman Model a Club meeting today with some friends from a local club i belong to. It was their auction night and I got a few good items.

One of the items i had purchased was this upper collumn mount bracket that I was looking at repairing. Isn't this a cast part? I know its original because it has the "M 1" stamped on it along with the #'s.

I have a mig welder. I have never welded on a cast part before tho. If cast parts can be welded, is it hard to do? Do i need special wire?

UPDATE: Page 2, post #22. part glass beaded.
