alan_k Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi All, A friend e-mailed a link to this, showing easy aluminium welding. I wondered if it would be of interest to anyone else. http://www.easyweld.com/videos/Durafix_Basic_Application_Instructions.wmv Cheers, Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 well i had a go with the easyweld stuff and altho it looks ok for some reason i dont trust it. one of the engine mount brackets was cracked so took engine out and decided against usin this stuff on it, so off to the weld shop it goes, or do you think i might be better just buying a new chassis for it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_b Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 When you take your frame to be welded get two pieces of alloy plate, then when you get home you can duraweld them together and see if you can break them apart after. Pete b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_andrews Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 The "pipe hole seal" demo, has him redrilling a hole in stock pipe, then on the repair. Stuff looks harder then the original, and if it pools as well as it looks like it does, it'd be handy to have in the repair kit. Field repairs made easy.

spigot Posted May 21, 2009 Share Posted May 21, 2009 Where is our old friend "welder" when you need him? I made a garden gate out of old alli tube and "easy weld" many moons ago. using an old parafin blow torch and a jig made out of a pallet. 20 years later all the joins are still good But I would not use it on any load bearing areas..or engine mounts the line between getting a good joint and melting the subject parts is a fine one, Best to leave it to a propper TIG welder who knows the score..

Guest Posted May 22, 2009 Share Posted May 22, 2009 well i used it last night and i welded an engine mount strut back on the frame once cooled i stood on the mount so all my weight was pushin the strutt off and i thought it would just break of but no it held me , so i guess it is solid. the only thing is if you dont keep the torch movin ya can melt the ally before it melts the product, if it cracks again then the engine should be ok as it is held in with four engine mounts, so i will get engine in later and keep a good eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
