Sure, I say this because I get the vision that the repair in question may be attempted by a Hobbiest in their garage:

Cold lap for one, and, it's to be welded in the vertical position. A MIG is a flat-weld, high production machine, so not what you want to use in this application. Vertical welds can be done with a MIG, and I've seen the procedure but I know if I do with a 6010 it will hold.

TIG is an option but I did not mention it because most Guys at home don't have one.
