Weld or braze?

Look forward to seeing you when you get back.

I was also thinking about trying some of those low temp aluminum brazing rods. I bought some mapp gas cylinders today, but see that I can't use my propane torch head with them. I saw one guy on youtube using the rods on a housing and he preheated the housing in a BBQ. I thought that ws pretty ingenious of him.

I want to say thanks to John for brazing up my housing. Really nice job. Looks great. :grin:

Now I have to tear the front of the engine off to put it on.

The fun never quits. But I tell my wife this keeps me out of bars and from chasing wild women.

She said the wild women would be cheaper.

That reminds me of a saying my friend would use often… “I spent most of my money on women, whiskey, and motorcycles. The rest, I just wasted.”

But yes, wife is happy because she opens the garage door and I am there instead of…

If you have Tig, Tig brazing with silicon bronze rod is a fantastic way to make high strength joints on parts like this. You don’t melt the base metal and the heat control is far better than oxy acetylene. Cleaner finished product.
