Hot Body
Are MFI Throttle bodies/manifolds cast from Aluminum or Magnesium?
Want to do some tig welding and don't want a fireworks show. |

Yeah, make a box of Argon to work in, clean well with diegrinder and degreaser, repeatedly, in box.. use the correct rods, gas weld or TIG...
I like gas... Kind regards David |
