  • Someone that's a good TIG welder

    I need someone very good and very experienced with TIG welding aluminum to weld two threaded bungs onto my ron davis radiator. I was gonna do this myself but i rarely use a tig so i'd rather have a professional do it.

    Does anyone have any good recommendations or know someone/ somewhere that could do this? Thanks.

        Really??

        Hose clamps as compared to 20 AN fittings and braided line?? It's a common setup in most stock cars.

        What do you guys do for coolant lines?

              Are you talking about threaded bungs for mounts or so that you can use AN? I thought you wanted to weld bungs on to mount it which is bad, if you're welding AN fittings on then get after it fancy man.

                  why not just do it yourself you said you know how to use a TIG.
                  It is going to be nice clean metal not like welding a dirty crack oil pan or something like that.

                  I think Aluminum is easier to get a good seal than steel plus your only talking about 20psi.

                  I welded bungs on my engine and oil pan cast so doesn't come out quite as nice.

                  I have to weld some AN16 bungs on my radiator at some point.
                  By the time all said and done it will look nicer and hold better and cost the same as running hose clamps etc.

                  I talked to Griffen and they said -16 will be fine and most people seam to use -16 stuff but -20 couldn't hurt.
