Specialist welder in South East?

Had a failure of the tilt ram end fitting on a Yam F80a. Cam anyone recommend a welder who could do this?

New ram is eye wateringly expensive and not available in Europe nor on ebay UK, so my options are limited.

Get in touch with HP Hydraulics at Fareham. They do a lot of marine stuff and have a large fabrication team - I had a pair of Arneston drives overhauled by them earlier this year. They did a great job of fabricating some new parts - considerably cheaper than new off the shelf.
