Whoever tried to weld that aluminium did a totally **** job and most likely ruined the boss for good.....

It will be much safer to remove the centre boss on that one and replace it with one that has not been hacked to death. Even the splines are damaged.
I would not trust that centre boss at all.
There are rivets that can be drilled out and the boss can be removed and replaced.

Thanks Jetta! Yeah, the splines are almost round...
The two holes in the hooter cup are not normal, are they?
