Replying to ATTN WELDERS: Broken Brakes -Possible?
It's a brake from an FKS.
I didn't actually break it, the metal is just fractured. I heard the snap so I stopped before the whole thing came apart. It still feels pretty strong, I'd say the split goes about half the length of the diameter of the brake. The crack is on the outside, so if i bend the brake in to make the width narrower, it will probably snap, but bending out to make the brake wider it is still relatively strong.
Can this metal be welded and is it possible to weld such a small crack?
Thanks in advance.
