hi tiger
will be going by your joint tomorrow will drop it off and leave it near your garage if your not home, I fix up cracks in catchers with some aluminium sheet, round 1mm thick shaped to the inside of the catcher so it coverers the crack with plenty of over hang for more support, drill at least half a dozen holes and rivet. once I have done that I spray paint the repair on the out side with some flat black paint , this covers the rivets and blends in the repair so it looks hard to pick. yes only cracked on top , repair first before use or the crack may get larger.
