Default 4130 can't be OA welded?

Dunno, Mongo.

I guess it would depend on how hot for how long.

But remember that it takes an acetylene flame to braze in the first
place.

If if gets that hot in the engine room, whether the mount welds hold or
not is probably going to be a secondary issue...

Its just gotta last long enough for me to get it on the ground ;-)




Getting it on the ground is no problem, gravity will help you with that
task, now doing it in a survivable manner, that is the trick.
