thanks Frank ..I'm looking into getting it specialist welded, it was actually the block that the line feeds into on the bottom of the cooler that came off, so if you are taking yours off make sure that you clamp the cooler horizontally into the vice, holding against the two blocks and a bit of wood between the mounting lugs... if I'd done that the pressure of trying to turn the union would not have transferred... live and learn !
