Well I f__ked up and broke one of my roller nozzles. The hook is bent, I heated it up to try to bend it back and it broke. So, anyone have any ideas on how to fix it? I need to fix the cracks but also still need to get it opened up a bit so that I can hang it on my 850.

+1 on Silver Solder Done right, it will be stronger than the casting.

Braze it with brass rod so it matches the nozzle

Courtesy Metal Polishing, Villa Park, Ill. Been doing my polishing and chroming for over 30 years. You will want to take it apart to get a good finish though? Paul www.severngaspumps.com
