is it possible to weld cast iron with steel (audi content

[John Larson]

Konstantin asked:  "My mechanic said he could not weld the steel ball on the
shiter lever to
the cast iron lever.   Everything I need is to fix the ball inside the
lever so it does not rock.    Is it doable?"

Seems to me I've fixed a couple.  I "think" I used a BFH and a punch to
re-peen the thing in place, but I could be wrong.  I think I would braze it
in place, a simple but oft forgotten process these days.  (Now that my
neighbor's got gas for his torch!)  Might wanna check the price of a new
one.  As I recall, they're not that expensive.  HTH, John
