Default LGAFF master fabricator...ok thats a stretch

The Siamese plenum I did I picked up from the Phrog man for a good price.....but the MAP senor brackets were hacked off...


So I figured I would fix it....

Drilled a 6mm hole for stud



Tapped a aluminum spacer from ACE


and alittle JB....



Alittle sanding and it will look stock

It's nice being able to do your own work. Feels good, too.

Good job.

Not half bad, Lee! Course powder coating is out of the question, I suppose. I have some "Alumaweld" and a video that shows just such type of reconstruction of aluminum castings. I've played around with the stuff some, and I'm intrigued by how well it might work in just that kind of application. If that epoxy doesn't work out, give me a call, and lets see if this Alumaweld stuff is all its cracked up to be!

Paul this stuff is good to 600 degrees.....so I am not sure that you could not PC....I used Alumiweld to fill my siamese intake......the issue is getting the parent metal hot enough..I waqs successful once.

I was using MAP...I think with an Oxy torch it would work. Also check out muggyweld.com
