Well, if it was mine, I'd probably beautify/hide the JBWeld repair with a bit of aluminum enamel. Then repair or replace the pump itself. Put it all back together and run it. Then maybe casually search for a replacement stand at a good price. Cuz I'm not gonna pay a lot for a stand. 8^) Jack E/NJ

That is certainly an option. My concern is the cupped flange won't seat correctly. It's not much of a cup but it's enough to possibly allow passage for either liquid or air. Is there any appreciable pressure at that connection? Given my resources the only option I have would be to belt sand the ears as close to flat as I can then rely on the gasket. Any suggestions on gasketing? Double? Sealer? Rubber? Cork?
