257 case welding

[benjpi]

I got a 257 where the chain catcher boss is pushed in and broken off . I'd like to keep the original case if I can, so I'm looking for someone to weld up the crack and boss. Is anyone here interested in welding it up? Not sure where else to post this.

There's a crack in the paint above the busted out piece on the left .I'd like to repair but is this beyond that point?
