Over the weekend my dad accidentally backed into my mailbox. This created some nasty damage on his car and left me with a broken post. I wasn’t too worried about it until I went to remove the post today to replace it.
The post appears to be some odd ball based on my hours of searching the interwebs for a replacement. There appears to be a ground mount with four screws that attach to the base of the post. There also appears to be four bolts that hold the mailbox to the post. For the life of me I can’t find this darn post - guess I need some detective work to track this down.
I’m toying with perhaps welding the broken base as a last resort - looks to be some cast aluminum.
Questions are 1) anyone know what kind of post system this is? I’d love to easily find a replacement. 2) any tips for welding cast aluminum?
