If you want it fixing then isn't it worth having a go rather than scrapping it?
what have you got to lose?
This is a one shot job with a welder, get it wrong and it's shagged. I'm not scrapping it, but it's the one thing stopping my Rocky Mountain build from being finished...I'm even considering buying a whole extra Cirrus just for the post, that's how desperate things are :shock: :shock:
(Either that or I throw loads of money at a CNC engineer)
And like Gump says....my bol.x or worse still....a Propost up yer a** really wouldn't be pleasant

i wouldnt attempt to weld it, nor let a coded/competent/confident welder do it. the alloy in the head would lose its strength, and break again. by the look of it there was a crack in it for a while, so its possible that there was a crack manifesting for a while un-noticed.
my option would be to take it to a local engineering firm, get them to look at pulling the head out or machine it out of the post and making a new one. then bond the bad boy back in.
not cheap im sure, but what price for the rarity of this particular post eh?

That's dead.
If you really want to fix it, then I'd agree it needs a new clamp part making for it.
