Default seal a water leak

I have a double collar and overcenter clamp to provide a quick connect on
the four inch hose to my traveler. Its been disconnected and reattached so
many times that there now is a pinhole right where the clamp pulls up tight
on the collar.

The correct fix would be a real skilled TIG (not me) welder. But, more than
likely, a hole would get burned in the pipe and then I'd be SOL for one-two
weeks getting this custom part made.

Gee, that doesn't sound all that difficult, if you have a decent
TIG machine. I'm still struggling with aluminum, but I feel I
have steel and stainless down quite well. I haven't had much
trouble at all burning holes in SS.
