I'm a bit pressed at the mo but looking to get 1 or 1.5 Kg of TIG brazing rods for ali I can only get 5kg packs over here and thats too much.
What job - making a Robot, old 2CV cyclinder head cast ali
to look somethng like this (ish) design stage at the mo
want to braze/weld ali plate to base of cyl head to join "neck" which will come up off"shoulders" on top of black barrel.
Plate in stock is 6061
I'll be on axis ALDERSHOT- PORTSMOUTH 04 April on bike.
Need to know;
best flavour for job
where to get em along above mentioned route on above date
Note; I know I can drill and tap the head and bolt plate on but no challenge in that-anybody can do it, and trying to get the rods on a road trip adds "history" (ie talking billhooks and swinging the lamp at the bar the robo will be standing on).
