Default Help welding b4 gen1 vega chassis

Hi,
I have a b4 vega gen1 alloy chassis which I'd like to strengthen on the known weak spot near the front.
Having a problem finding someone who can do this.
Is anyone on here able to do such a thing and if so how much am I looking at?
I need someone who can weld alloy and ideally is involved in rc, maybe done something similar to this already, to understand what's involved to greatly lessen the chance of a botch up!

I have already posted this in the north east thread as that's where I am but it may get more viewers in this section by the more tech minded folk who can build and invent their own stuff.
Being based in the North East would be a bonus.
Unfortunately team xtreme cannot help with this I've already tried them.

Thanks

You just need someone who can TIG weld to lay a little bead on the bend. Being a decent size chunk of metal, pre/post heating might make it weld a bit nicer, but anyone whos good at TIG welding should be able to do it, its not much differant then then welding 2 peices of 1/8" aluminum on a 30* joint.
