I can get the pipe to screw in and I can tighten the lock nut. But I need a ya or na on what I’m thinking or do I just order a new cylinder? And yes that’s the fan out of a Bell 47 it’s cracked and I found the crack in an inspection faze so he let me keep to make a clock
I agree> I don't think J&B will hold up for that long at all, it looks like you only have 3&1/2 threads on the broken side. if it wouldn't warp when welded a new part could be made, it would stick out a bit but it would work. but if you had to pay some one to fix it you would be better off buying a new cylinder. and I ant no welder
