I just got off the phone with denny's and they said they wouldn't reweld the aluminum for me. he said i could probably get another shop to weld it, but that tells me denny doesn't just want my money. they won't do it cause they've seen too many problems with them.
Once you reweld the yoke back on it becomes weaker, that's what they said.

oh well, i wanted to go that route and save some money but added it all up and it's not much less than a new one, after i included shipping and the cut and weld fee.

thanks for the info though,

are you going that route also?
