Yeah well I was thinking that whomever I get to fix the base could always just cut that section out of the other base and weld it in.[Censored] it being alloy,if it was steel then I could do it.It's funny when I cleaned the motor down today it came up cleaner than the first motor.Not that's to say it's a better motor,it's just cleaner.Though by the time Goliath's motor comes of for the big job I'm sure I'll get it clean.
