mike wilson Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 And long may it remain attached – I know that you've had your worries. If the worst comes, I recommend Araldite. Don't use Halfords. The lack of flexibility appeals. As my tiny Chinese concubine is wont to say, "That tool is rubbery". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emry Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Well I tried my own suggestion. I ordered some rods from www.durafix.com and used it to repair a pitted water out on a 300zx. Works very similar to solder. Very interesting to say the least. While grindind back to shape i noticed that the material is definately much harder than the aluminum. I will let you all know how it works out after it has spent some time back on the vehicle. I did have to used a Oxy/Act. torch to heat the pipe, propane just would not heat it enough.

Skeeve Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 While grindind back to shape i noticed that the material is definately much harder than the aluminum. That's 'cause it's zinc. Along w/ being harder than aluminum, it's more brittle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
