Minor ebike accident last week left me pretty much OK, but a 1" piece of flange was busted off my hub motor.

Before I go on Items Wanted for a replacement motor shell I thought I'd ask here if it's worth trying to repair instead. I imagine it would require awesome weldling skills and/or equipment to A. not warp the flange and B. not demagnetize the magnets. I got one quote so far and it's close to the price of a new motor.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
