What would be the best repair for this spill off rail. The.pipe and nut are steel. Weld it I am thinking.
4d56What engine is it off?
Drill it out, bond in a spigot and use a flexi fuel pipe? Depends what hurry you’re in?
Because I can't braze only braise
Ha ha that's me. I ordered a second hand one but if i can fix it I will.I did the same on my k74 and tried welding it (tig) it seemed to go OK but I couldn't stop it weeping after and everything got a bit disfigured by the 3rd attempt.
Ended up buying a new one for 20quid or so. Surely you have loads of spares! (assuming you are the same hotchef from other forums)
That's a dam good idea i didnt think about cutting it after and linking it with flexi because it will be too short for sure by 5mmActually it might be better to drill the injector boss out so you can insert the tube into it tightly then solder around it
Edit, but then you might have to cut the tube again and put a bit of rubber hose in so it reaches between the injectors
As above but if you want solid solder in some copper brake pipe
