Evening Blue Roomers. After a second opinion. We have had a truss corner damaged somehow, at the end of last years summer season. The damage looks like it is be beyond repair, see photos and we in the process of getting it replaced. https://uc951e6b2e1bd40f92a0c3ebd775.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AAyrSWFZ6w-jhmHRUa7OX5q1OUFyqvFfc5M-67nVa2fXUQcrYspou0MuugEsbXrU2ig8jFozUugrZcdidwP6nnqyG4h6P83IFDQeKqgmRUkvXyek1LQslf02urgmp78iRCcNnb_9mkmbSCfAen0lTV5TSOLkhjS9xp61otjFNkCUlx_W7sm4TKBkEGVv6COk0aZilyYxeHxwyGjigW3PGkY0YdTafJmkYUgrZpCHGStfwZiH6kmuXuI_kZLUV_QHg8XowHiB32rOwUXiawJtr_XolHRH6Hs0N43_WyUHswVjvRihyjMqBPP_L8PRLjU84We3ce7gMC7aqrUMjSqqY-HsS_8z_rULxfq7qUbxZxynLw/p.jpeg https://uc03c2a9d6b3112da749d14c3ed8.previews.dropboxusercontent.com/p/thumb/AAy6HWTSPfQZcCNu0QJe47zmcXSmqmQS_sTtqk5qKGAcej0Xaaij5ttQaVdnv3OUEB6HnF6zVcai8BR_fK_YcyHWloCyMqr-IYbTkHm0Hg7v5Js85e1-CF6tJlyjcBp_eXizwlBCBq7Ni1BwVr-HVxp_FGHSaIgX0qY3KE7HrlD8aXcdbGe0gGWIuT1znTPjmgNz0cy1y55iNUhZXXAZZSfqIRjwzsUFbDL8LvHmljC02j8PYPfXEELKvhSLkmKYFGjpeJU_7GuS2lbumJAIcT8jxfA9h0TC9u0T_zvwm9fnIHexnjBdD9c2L4djWYQ73G1UhuZJIPVl6VMFSMeUB1CgH6HZmyN9CFLb-MXl6gBSnofRsZrlDWl3XQgpVjuF_A6F6_9bp-lDjAPT-68TxzvgVjBxLtqPtmcXS8xUfyhQCBAhsmeSDeqGrMYxpejgTEi7UTheZdlfex5RaK3i61fj/p.jpeg https://www.dropbox.com/sh/faliu2f4fiec357/AABFM_fP_RRkazG85y6IEGsxa?dl=0 (Link to Photos) The damage is a deep cut that has put about a 2mm into the side wall of the Truss and various scratches in the same location, It hasn't pierced through the tube. The truss is AluStage's Q290. Been told by our chippy who welds, he could just weld it over and that would seal the damage but just wanted to get a 2nd opinion on if its safe to do so in the UK Event Environment, as I think it would be seem as a modification and void the certification on the part. As I have always been trained damage truss, once damaged doesn't have a repair path just straight to metal recycling and replace it. If it is ok to weld it, I may get it welded and keep as a spare. Thanks in advance
