True, but smoothing out an EFI intake might be a good place to TIG some AL or relocating the valve cover vent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MIG + 100% Argon = no beuno Unless of course you are MIG brazing with Silicon Bronze, then you want 100% Argon. You can get away with 75/25 mix but you get better control with straight Argon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ConVerTT Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share #92 Posted February 19, 2019 (edited) So getting back to frame rails ... Without any c25 for the weekend, I was forced to play “Game of Clecos” .... Fitting this rail was much easier than the first one. The jig really makes it simple to get everything in the proper alignment.... h Edited February 19, 2019 by ConVerTT Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConVerTT Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share #94 Posted February 19, 2019 Stock rad clears the trimmed up rails nicely. Aside: the stock rads sure are beefy. Were they meant to serve as a structural brace? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay a little bit but Si/Bz is perfect for what you are doing right now, joining thin ga metal without the heat warping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
