Can this carb base plate be welded?

[Mark P.]

Attached is a photo of my 3814 broken base plate from my base engine car. Is it possible have this welded? If so, any recommendations as to who could perform this repair?

Thanks----Mark

"V" groove both side of the break and bolt the base plate with 4 bolts to a flat piece of steel and weld the top side. then weld the bottom side.

I am encouraged that it is possible to weld. Do you or any other members know of a vendor or member who could perform this repair?

Thanks in advance---Mark

Jerry MacNeish does them all the time - he's a wizard with Heliarc; he can take care of it for you:

Another alternative is to find a local welding shop in your area that does Heliarc or Tig welding. Do the set up yourself as Clem described and have them weld it.

Finding a local shop shouldn't be too dificult.
