T2 MSW Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Does any one know of any good garages in the Manchester area or Stockport that can weld these alloy flanges onto hard pipe kits? Tried a couple of local places but because its welding alloy onto steel they weren’t very convincing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steb9780 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I didn't think you can weld alloy to steel, but obviously I may be wrong. Do you not need an ali flange? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bromy Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Infact hardly any, apparantly it is used in shipbuilding and is a explosive process http://www.triplate.com so infact not really possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieren1234 Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 It is practically impossible. Is it the flange that is alu or the hard pipe. Is is for an ssqv bov? If so you can get the flanges in either steel or alu. . . . . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Bollox! The hard pipe kit is steel and the Tial flange is alu. However people I have asked did not say it could not be done just did not sound sure of what they were doing. Do Tial do Steel flanges or can I get a alu pipe from the intake to a greddy FMIC?

T2 MSW Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Looks like one of the most complicated flanges you can get but here you go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T2 MSW Posted January 19, 2008 Author Share Posted January 19, 2008 Not really, not going to get chance to fit any of it for a couple of weeks and to be honest im prob going to wait for the weather to pick up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Effectively you cannot weld alloy to steel, either get a steel flange made, or an alloy pipe. You could glue it on, but a suitable adhesive is VERY expensive, and the prep has to be 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2 MSW Posted January 20, 2008 Author Share Posted January 20, 2008 Cheers, Going to see Bromy later today about getting one made! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
