You will have to be careful not to use to much heat when you are welding it as its very close to several braised joints.

TIG welding will do the job very efficiently. If the repair is super close to a brazed joint, weld only a little at a time and blow it cold with an air gun.

Thanks so much for all the helpful guidance, gentlemen. I'll ride with it as it is this season and then, come the cold weather, I'll start taking it apart.

All best wishes,
