Thanks again for the
tips. What if I filled the core with water prior to welding? Maybe I
could change the water periodically as it heats up? Would the water vapor
be a problem with TIG welding? At least I'd know if I reached the kit
stage :-)

The brackets are 6061-T6, and they
could be steel if needed. Weren't the broken case bolts a matter of
harmonic vibration at certain rpms? That's not likely to be a problem with
these brackets, unless I'm really unlucky.
OK, there are a number of you out there
that have cores mounted to the engine. Do you have them solidly mounted,
or are they on an effective cushion of some type? Can you post some
pics? Has vibration been an issue with any of your mounting methods?
Thanks,
Rusty (shaken, not
stirred)
