Whereabouts are you?  My mate runs a metal fabrication firm in Uxbridge, MIddlesex; he's top notch on the old alloy welding  :daumenhoch:

Ah!  Probably a bit too far still, you should be able to find someone local up there that can do it.  A good alloy welder will finish it to look like it's never been repaired.
