Machine Shop to Repair Cracked Mount on Aluminum Block? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

Hey guys, I picked up a Subaru 257 (USDM STi) block for basically nothing. The power steering mounts are broken off. It basically needs a large piece of aluminum welded back on and threaded. Nothing major, but I need power steering, so it needs to get fixed.

Here is a pic so you can see the two spots. One far left, the other a few inches to the right of that.

If anyone knows a semi-local machine shop that can do the work, Id love a name/number. Thanks!

TJ

So did you call them or go somewhere else?

Made a custom bracket to get it mounted using different holes. Thanks though!
