    quote 20mercman:

    I don’t think you would have any issues with such a small hole with epoxy, especially a JB Weld type of product, but I have welded up many gear housings, and it is not as hard as folks think. Aluminum is a metal that will absorb impurities. It is important to get it as clean as you can

    If I do get it welded, I’d probably cut it away to get rid of any and all impurities by drilling it out or using a counter-sink bit to cut away a valley for it.

    I might try epoxy though.
