My p
rior dropout work is here. I'm confident I can do this. Super easy, especially if you can forego the adjuster. I can redrill and tap the adjuster as well, just a bit more work.

I will also vouch for the viability of welding this back together. scarlson's shop rate sounds exeptionally reasonable to me!
For future reference I'll add that I've seen a chromed dropout TIG welded with stainless wire. In the hands of a skilled welder the repair is almost invisible.
