Gimbal housing repair/replace options

[elkhunter338]

I got salt water in the u-joint bellows and now I think the gimble housing is bad enough that a new bellows might not seal.
What are my options?

Can you replace that corroded ring and if so where can I get a new ring.

I see someone selling a repair kit, ghrkits, but these are for $300.

Ayuh,... You need a new gimbel bearing, for sure...
But, if the housing is trashed, ya need a new 1 of those as well...

So there are no repair option for the gimble housing.
I looked at it again and maybe there is enough lip left to seal the bellows.
Is there any great glue other than bellows adhesive to glue the bellows in place?

Anyone have a good suggestion on where to get a good gimble housing.
I looked on e-bay, it appears used ones are running $250 ish.

Read on another post couple weeks back they were going to try cleaning that work spot and tig weld it to add meat there and grind it even, don't know if it was successful or how difficult it would be.
