I had that happen on an '85 KTM; I was able to get a local guy to weld it & it held up fine the rest of the time I had the bike.

I may visit that, but I'm not sure the weld will hold in this case, it's not just cracked, it's split open about 1/2", so that will need to be bent back which will weaken the whole ear.
Then there's the machining.

Yikes that would scare me; hoping the weld would hold. Have you looked into the guys that are parting out bikes etc. ? Maybe call a few suspension shops and see if they have some take off's were guys stepped up to TTX or something?

If you take time to think about the loading on the shock, wouldn't this type of failure be caused by load when the shock tops out?

Take it to am machine shop ! let them fix it for you .. you will probably have to take the shock apart first .. They can weld it back and machine ot for you no problem ...

That will be a last resort, I ride some gnarly single track with a lot of elevation transitions...don't want that breaking and getting toasted.
