Question: Aluminum repairs

[Dustoff529]

Mornig All ,
THe alternator on my '90 C4 went Tango Uniform on SAT. Got it off and rebuilt ready to go back on. BUT, while I was taking it off I noted the front eye of the upper bracke from the air pump to the top ear of the alternator was cracked, now broken! This is a cast aluminum piece and none of the recyclers in my area have one. Considered making sandwich plates and bolts but worry about integrity. Does anyone have any experience with HTS-2000 or DuraFix brazing rods. The videos are impressive

Thanks
Charlie

No body cared?

Since this go knocked off the daily post..... I bailed on the brazing rods... I took the part to a friends shop that does high end aluminum head repairs and he welded it up for $0... so I came out ahead but havent learned any more about brazing
