HI kenyon - When we were at henry's he had a ring that Sherm's in Sacramento had repaired and it looked good. PS I have sent henry's spotlight to mark and I just noticed he sent me a proof so i will review that tonight and we can get this started.

Since this seems to be a common need in the 55/56
cars, it'd be nice to see photos and a write up of
what was done (on the club site?) for reference.

I have a NOS-looking ring that got snapped.

I've been looking at solutions, and the fabrication
route seemed most likely, since using JB weld in back
failed, and I wasn't aware that welding was a real
possibility.

I can have them fabricated, I think, but it'll be
expensive. If it were easy, someone would have done
it and they'd be common...

Can we see the results of the welding work and a
commentary on the technique?
