Pot Metal Repair?

I do have a good repair product for you TMAC. Our #328. The bond temp of our #328 alloy is 799�F and if the part you have is a zinc die casting and not Al, the melting point of the base material and the filler metal will be virtually the same.
Here's a way to outsmart the die casting that should work pretty well for the shape of the part you need to repair:
Sand the area clean and if you brush it, use a stainless brush. Place the vee'd out and clean part in a firm bed of damp sand. This will form a sort of mold should the metal temp get away from you. Using an ordinary plumbers propane torch, heat the metal and the rod at the same time. Stir the rod against the metal as temps rise and 'paint' the rod on as both metals begin to blend.

Pot metal is not really difficult to repair but is the the most challenging due to the close relation of the liquidus state common to both materials. Repairing aluminum is practically fool proof.

If you do try using my material and experience any difficulty I will be glad to make the long distance call to offer assistance. If you are in an area close to a rep we can send him if you want. In any case, if won't work for you we'll take it back or swap it out. I'll include a link if you want to read about it on our site.

Steve from US Alloys may also have a product for this use and in all honesty, I'd go with Steve's over any others just because he knows what he's talking about and is a strait shooter.

I tried it on aluminum with a propane torch and it worked great .

Give it a shot and let us know what happens .
