   Hi Derek, I would have to say no to the question. My metal working skills are a bit lacking (read nonexistent!!), but I see now I don’t need them, as should I find such a piece, I will happily send it to you, and let that little tool torment you in to giving it new life!. Wonderful job I hope you enjoy it, a fine addition to your shop. garyowen

   I am afraid I have to confess... In my previous life as servant boy in the Monestary I was given the task to fix this very plane. Alas you can see my handy wurk left something to be desired. It must be noted that I was thrown to the wolves and tossed from the Monestary, promising never to attempt such a repair again.

   Which is why I would send it someone more worthy for repair, and spare it's fait again in this life.
