Hi guys,
Wonder if any body can suggest if this is feasible or not. Long story short I crashed my car in a ditch, and whilst replacing the front of the car I invested in replacement alloy AC pipes (Peugeot 306, famously they break and cost a small fortune to replace) I bought the £230 pipe, fitted it, gassed and had nearly 12 hours of air conditioning. Unfortunately the lower panel had moved forward, and the pipe was crushed, resulting in a pin prick hole in my brand new alloy pipe!! Diaster, and much use of four letter words as I heard the gas hissing out.
Anyway, I've ground out where the pipe was getting caught, but I need to repair the hole. I have a blow-lamp and some alloy brazing rods knocking about, (these ones) - Would it be possible to braze a AC pipe with this?
I'm hoping I can, as I can't run another £230 because of a pinprick hole! Will braze support A/C pressures?
Cheers in advance guys, hope the question makes sense!
Regards,
Andy
