914-6 front hubs. When removing all the brake dust, found
several spots where whatever coating has been compromised and the aluminum started getting eaten. Can this be welded up? These don't look anodized, what did they do to the surface to protect?  |

Mine have been welded in a couple of spots, and epoxied in another, by the PO. I assume corrosion was his problem as well.
I prefer Eric's solution rather than the heat of a welding, especially since that piece is one huge sink, but there have been no problems and they run true. |

Well it sounds like I'm just going to be keeping these in the basement for
backups, then. I like the idea of epoxy to keep any more of this from happening while stored. |
