If a crankshaft journal can be welded for a repair, then there is NO reason a ZF input shaft couldn't also be welded for a repair.
Myself personally I ONLY use the bronze pilot bushing, it's material being the "Sacrifical Lamb". My piece of mind is WORTH the extra cost of the bronze bushing.
You guys must be on food stamps , that want to save a few $$$ for a questionable pilot bushing..Mark
