I have a Howse 66" Disc whose frame has broken. I have tried to present a drawing of the frame below. It has broken where the center channel iron meets the angle iron at the back. It could probably be easily welded, but I do not have ready access to that.
I finished what I was doing as the break did not affect the discing, but I know I need to fix it. Has anyone tried to fix such a break by bolting a piece of metal to both sections? My thought is that I could bend a piece of metal to an "L" , drill holes in each section, and bolt it on. Will that be strong enough?
Forget the dots. I had to put them to make the center piece stay in the center. And my apologies on the expertise of the drawing.
