Just got the tiller arms back from Fine Limit Welding:

The man behind the show is Martin Harrison.
The cost was £25+vat to get both port and starboard arms re-welded. The final result looks tidy, though the new weld is necessarily larger than the original and now goes all the way around the tiller arm because the outer edge (not welded originally) was where part of the cracking occurred.
All I need to do is spray the welded area to prevent corrosion where Martin had to remove the anodising.
The real proof of the job will be how both arms are holding up after a season's use. I'll report back in the Autumn. So far though, I'm very happy.
