G260/6 from 87 535is Can broken mount tab be replaced, welded?

Post by Mab1957 »

The passenger side transmission mount tab of Getrag 260/6 in '87 535is was broken and is missing. Can the tab or mount part of the casing be replaced or welded?

Did you weld something on to serve as the tab, or replace that part of the case?

Thanks CEK for this photo. Image
