Worth,
I've just had a look at my 921 All american pressure canner. there is a reinforcement inside the lid at the location of the manometer. I unscrewed the manometer and found the threaded part on the lid was 11 millimeters long. I screwed back the manometer into place, trying the keep the original torque. I had two mm of thread left on the manometer. Inside the lid I could see there was still a fairly long threaded lenght. The threading is standard in plumbing, replacements should be easy. I suppose a highly qualified TIG welder could build a reinforcement on any kind of lid but the heat might alter its shape. Personnally I wouldn't advise it to amateurs ! |
