Suggestion to manufacture elbows from stampings welded together, instead of casting, due to poor quality.

X.3436 RE E.2240. Elbows.

I would like to suggest that if possible this piece be made from stampings instead of at present cast. It looks anything but a good job and we are having to machine inside the elbow owing to the bad casting.

It might be possible to stamp these in two halves and weld together.

Please note.
