61 and 63 door handles?

[Frank Griffin <frankrad4@xxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the castings are very thin in a high stress area.  I was thinking
about putting something solid in the hollow area of a broken handle then
drill and tap.  When you say fill the voids with brass do you mean with
molten metal or to cut and shape the metal ?
