I should have seen the small weld bead and the braze on as well to figure out it is steel. (It is so easy to read into a situation what you've been prepped to see). But my advice doesn't change much except the reference to heat treating the "ALU" after welding. Being steel it does open up the range of possible repair methods (brazing or welding). Still not sure if it's worth that though. Andy.
