I also had this problem with my 530. The guys at Sarasota avionics found that the original install of the antenna cable had a screw ran through it. If non of the loose connection scenarios fix the problem check the cable.

I searched for quite some time and found aero trim to be the only one other than an autopilot add on. After contacting them I discovered that they only make the rudder and aileron trim and no longer make the elevator trim. I bit the bullet and got the stec add on to my stec 30. This was almost 5k but definitely worth the money. The electric trim is invaluable in a go around scenario. I am a large pilot and my butt fills up the seat and trimming with the wheel in ths situation is cumbersome and slow. Stec inlet allows for authorized shops to install this.

This is a specialty welding procedure. It requires a high frequency machine to do the build up. The metal would have to be pre-heated to do a stick welding procedure. Take this to your local machine shop. Should be able to get it done for less than $100. Aluminum welding is not something that should be done by an amateur.
