dadof2 Posted January 6, 2014 Report Share Posted January 6, 2014 JB Weld is a high strength epoxy - you can apply it yourself. It is very good for all sort of alloy repairs. The industrial size is economical. ESAB do an aluminium solder / braze which can be used on thin metals that can't be welded. I have not used it myself yet but have seen good results on water pumps.

wobblenorbed Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Tig weld it, ask your welder to do it. Really easy if you know what you`re doing. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadof2 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 Wobblenorbed - are you a TIG welder? Filler necks are right on the limit of aluminium welding and ideally you will need a set with wave balance and high frequency for arc shaping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sting32 Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 Radiator shop might be the guy to see, I think where your problem is, they might be able to braze or weld, if there is no reason or forces causing the crack to re occur? Welding with tig is probably stronger, I have a buddy that can weld Coors beer cans together, consistently... good welder like that, is what you need probably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wobblenorbed Posted January 8, 2014 Report Share Posted January 8, 2014 No dadof2, i'm not a TIG welder but I watched a bloke weld mine no bother at all ! Just thought I would pass on the info to try and help a fellow trialist. Only trying to be helpful. Thought that was point of this site. Apologies if it came across as anything else.
