    Yes.

    John Pirkle is who I would talk to about it.

      That's a tough part to come by! I'm sure it can be repaired. But, the how, different alternatives, cost, and detectability aspect needs to be researched before you commit. I agree that John Pirkle is an EXCELLENT resource to consult with on this one!

          EASY! If you have access to a machine shop.
          I have a 950 alternator that had the same condition on my 71. I machined away the broke part, providing a pocket for an insert (that i subsequently made) the insert was machined to the same configuration. Welded it on, dressed it, very light glass bead. I Drilled and tapped the new hole for a helicoil. It is 99% undetectable. Pm me and I can make a sketch. I should have taken pictures for a tech article
