AWI is the usual go-to place for stuff like that.

@rocketman  Rocket Engineering repaired the engine mount from my Missile conversion last year. I had some corrosion. 3 tubulars were replaced. Rocket uses 3 different wall thicknesses depending on the tubular. They are oil filled. They re-powder coated the entire frame.  Give them a call.

Here is the same Rocket engine frame corrosion/ repair from 2019. His total cost was $11 k. Engine removal and reinstallation was 80 hours. Based upon my Missile experience that is about right.  Rocket designed a complex engine mount.

To be clear, the $11k was an estimate to overhaul the truss including engine r&r. Our final total for the in-situ repair of the truss was about $3,600.

Call and check with them to see if they can do it - if they can, I would recommend them. Had mine inspected and they are thorough. Great to work with.

I spoke to Darwin Conrad at Rocket Engineering today. They are answering the phone and in business.  They are repairing Rocket/Missile engine mounts.
