There is a thread started on repairing top cover holes on 2 series hookies. They used marine grade epoxy and a heli-coil.

If you can weld aluminum all you need is the correct filler rod (ER92A) to weld magnesium. It's really similar, just more sensitive to proper cleaning.

I'm not great at mag welding but can help you out Brett. I'm on Long Island.

I've got filler rod.

PM me pics and we can talk.

It's harder than aluminum in some ways, easier in others.

I'm always getting welding projects shipped to me so if @drf256 can't help you I can fix it up.

I talked my local welding supply out of one rod. They weren't suppose to break a pack, but those things cost some $$$!! I was able to repair the holes for the brake flag on a 026.

Thanks guys....but I found a guy a half hr from me that has rod and can do it...I have done some research and I might give it a try soon...I have found that most of the myths about magnisium are not true and that it is very similar to aluminum. ...my local airgas shop quoted me 110.00 for a 1lb pack of 92a filler rod

Yeah if it's not a rush job don't pay the brick and mortar store price for rod.

$110 for a pound is cheap.
