welding aluminium with a blow torch and rods

[jimbob-mcgrew]

is this an ok method for attaching intake tubes to flanges, for custom inlet manifolds, strengthwise ?

anyone tried this before ?

Hello,

It can be done but i wouldn't recomend as you wont get proper penetration in the weld. And there wouldnt be alot of strength. I would just get a proper welder to do it for you.

Idealy you need a stick welder (tig) so its done properly.

I did a few rocker covers with an-8 fittings for catch tanks ect with a blow torch and rods but it was no where as good as when i got my tig welder.

but its up to you ��!
