Ugh ugh and tripple ugh! Third day of trying to weld this damn pipe, and no success in getting it completely watertight. It looks solid enough but despite trying five times tonight, no success. I’m giving up for tonight and possibly for good on this. I might chance ordering a new one from Toyota and smushing it, or if I get the MR2 supercharged one that the starter is supposedly for maybe it’ll all be moot and fit perfectly, although the Toyota parts diagrams are confusing on that.
Was this all a pipe dream?
Pipemares!!!!!
Hahahahaha!
have you considered brazing the crack?
I think Derek’s right, brazing would be better for something like that. The MIG’s a little too intense.
I hear TIG is the way to go. Military guy talked to at rally said they weld a patch, & when it leaks, you weld a patch over the patch.
Looks like I might replace that middle section with hose. Won’t look as nice but should work.
Yes TIG is the way, but you dont have one. Thus I said Braze. If you bring it over here, I might be able to talk someone into tigging it for you though.
