That's very good advice. Actually welding upside down would be tricky with all the blood rushing to your head. Overhead welding still takes some practice but is done all the time when pieces can't be flipped over. Pipelines are one example. If you can take it off and flip it so the weld could be done in the flat position would be a lot easier. Being that it's a stressed component 7018 would be the rod of choice with perhaps a 6011 or 6010 root pass (first pass to fill the V groove you ground out). After it's welded you could grind the weld flat and put a strengthening plate over the repair. Hope this helps. Dave
