JB weld will do nothing. Pop riviting a plate isnt going to work either. You say the break is by the front shock, theres allot of stress there it will just rip out the rivits the first bump you hit. It needs to be welded. You need to grind out the crack and weld it. Then i would weld a plate over that. Do it right the first timeand you wont be stranded some where or hurt yourself.

i would post some pics but my phones being a prick and my real camera kind of broke. well it sparks when you hit it with a grinder so im pretty sure its steel. and my brother goes to school for welding so i might be wrong but i trust him. and i would need to choose between either JB weld or welding. you cant weld when there is JB on where your trying to weld. i might just buy my brother the welder and have him pay me bavk when he gets the money. ill try to get pics up as soon as possible though

JB weld is a joke. if you're talking about filling in holes, sure. but nothing structural. if it's steel then it should be easy to weld.

If you wanna know if it's steel or aluminum, stick a really light magnet to it. Steel will hold a magnet, aluminum won't.

Please do not JB weld it.
A patch riveted in would work in theory, But would need need real rivets, not the pop ones you buy at the hardware store.

Really 
Whatever you do, just make sure you do it right and spend a right amount of time on it to make sure it holds for your safety and ours.

I would not JBweld it or rivet it. If there was enough stress to cause it to actually break in two in the first place (being by the shock) then they will do nothing.
Like a bunch of people said, it isn't worth the risk to do a half job and you're going to end up spending more trying to re-fix it later. When you have it welded, grind any/all paint and rust from around the crack. If you trust your brother and he feels that he is capable enough, it may save you a couple dollars. Otherwise, it shouldn't cost that much to have someone do it for you. If all the prep work is done and it is easily accessible, it will cut down on the cost as well.

People, keep in mind it does not have a pressurized shock, it has a t.s.s. shock.

which obviously means that the weight of impacts is not transfered through the shock to the chassis of the sled whatsoever.

I think he is being sarcastic. All shocks put transfer some energy from impacts into the frame. Some just do a better job smoothing the noticeable impact out for the rider. **EDIT - he beat me to it**

what do you meen? he is in welding in a tech school. do you meen like if he's studying for an exact kind of welding? no they just teach in general, but he's only a junior and only been taking it for 2 1/2 years so it would probably be safer to get a professional do it

Exactly, but your an idiot. Thats the stupidest thing I've EVER heard. Why dont you just stick bubblegum and bandaids on it? It wouldn't hold for 2 seconds just like your dumbass idea anyways. Like said, if your are going to rivet anything like a frame it has to be REAL rivets, "like 8" pop rivets WILL shear off. I F*ckin HATE you and all the shltty advice you give people, that they will take and ruin something they paid money for.
And BTW a circle is not the strongest shape, a triangle is, Tool.

No one should listen to you, you don't know what you are saying; The fact that you are directing this guy, who seems almost likely to listen, to do something that could get him killed -- BEFORE YOU EVEN SAW THE DAMAGE HE IS CONSIDERING REPAIRS ON..... is INSANE. Honestly man, I try my best to ignore your posts but it is beyond me why you continually post here after being constantly negged. You need to hit puberty and come back when you're older..

^^Consider he was going to go and ride it as is.... If you grind it clean and remove all the parts that are in the way, a professional welder will be able to do it pretty cheap. If you have a smalltown welding shop or blacksmith, it should be less than $20 if you do the prep work. I'd have him weld a reinforcement plate over the top after the crack is welded.

Ive been welding for about the last 6 or 7 years and thats my profession. I would highly suggest that you have it welded by someone who knows exactly 1.what metal it is 2.what kind of welder to use 3. what kind of filler metal to use 4.what to do to keep the problem from happening to the other side which may or may not be broken already. I think i speak for everyone here, we want to have you riding for many years to come and if its "JB welded" it could fail and leave you injured or worse 'ie:the wolf thing above'. So have it done right the first time and you can put it out of your mind. Think snow and good luck srv!!

P.S. You can migweld aluminum with the correct equiptment such as a spool gun or a push pull gun.
