I just leveled up my Artificer to level 3 and took Armorer subclass and wanted to make my Gauntlets my Enhanced Weapon, but they don't even show up on the list of items to be able to be Enhanced. Right now I've just customized their stats to add an extra hit and damage as a workaround, but I wanted to report this.
Currently your gauntlets can't be chosen for enhanced weapon infusion because it's still treated as part of the Arcane Armor item. One you reach level 9 you'll get this:
Armor Modifications
9th-level Armorer feature
You learn how to use your artificer infusions to specially modify your Arcane Armor. That armor now counts as separate items for the purposes of your Infuse Items feature: armor (the chest piece), boots, helmet, and the armor’s special weapon. Each of those items can bear one of your infusions, and the infusions transfer over if you change your armor’s model with the Armor Model feature. In addition, the maximum number of items you can infuse at once increases by 2, but those extra items must be part of your Arcane Armor.

I have the same issue also does reply infusions to custom items as far as I can tell so there’s no workaround, somebody let me know if you know of one
