i just got my motor for my 200x and the corners of 3 cooling fins got craked off in shipping:mad: (**** **** fed-ex) It will still work fine but id like to repair them. I have the broken pieces. Can these be welded on? i have access to an alluminum welder. also, i have that stuff you see on tv where you heat the alluminum up with a propane torch and use the rod to "weld" the pieces back together. However i have only been succesful a few times using this (got the stuff for free). Another idea might be jbweld?? what have you guys tried? what works? what doesnt?
