Watched a few youtube videos this weekend. Another repair field that might be able to handle this would be wheel rebuilders. They do weld magnesium and have the material experience to possibly deal with this. |

| Magnesium is a PITA to weld, but any good welder with a TIG should be able to do it in 5 minutes. |

| I don't know the exact alloy, but it's a magnesium alloy, similar to that used on many motorcycles. |
