     How broken is it? And Are aware that a process called lock & stich
can repair almost all broken plates. This is a non welding procedure. The
inventor/fabricator is located near me In turlock Ca. I own Mason AA my
self & am surprised that such a massive plate is broken.


The plate was hoisted in the air on a wench when a strap gave out. So, the
plate was dropped flat on a concrete floor from maybe 5 feet! There are 2
struts snapped clean.
