I used to repair window regulators like this back in the late 70’s. I also used to call it dentistry. I was about 18 and never heard of this technique. To me it just made sense. That’s the good thing about being a kid. At the time nobody I knew had used a mig welder. So it was brazing everything
Reminds me of back country trail repairs. Sometimes the fix only has to last a little while, but I have temporary fixes outlast the original part. Good for these guys for not giving up and abandoning the project.
An interesting soluition to an annoyingly common problem. I saw you had previously repaired that gear and since they held up, I know the repair will hold. Very nicely done!
This is awesome... I have been watching the Mechanics over in India repair gears by just welding metal on and reshaping. The thought had crossed my mind to drill and install dowels or something and then weld but haven't come across anything similar until now. Thank You for showing this technique.
