Inlet crack repair- what to use?

[leggattr]

So part of my running issues has come down do a small crack in the inlet where the servo pipe bolt has been over tightened. Discovered this when spraying it with carb cleaner and it began to idle smoothly.
So there are many different products on the market that say they do the same thing but I only want to do this once. It also needs to withstand the heat of the inlet.
whats suggested?

Could try chemical metal putty. You can apparently drill and tap it. Worth a try as cheap to buy and available most places.

Just get it welded will cost about a fiver

What engine is it on?

Only on a 1.4 8v but it’s a 1.3 inlet so not always easy to come by.

I went and checked last night as I knew I had an 8v inlet in my shed you could of had it but it's just a shit single choke one off a 1200. I would just take it off and get it to an alloy fab shop n get it welded mate will take 10mins
