Witches covens dance "Widdershins" I believe Hehee

Further to my previous post would it be possible to leave a length of studding screwed in to the existing thread then sort of cast the Lumiweld round the studding . Unscrewing later but how would I stop the lumiweld from sticking to the studding?

Hi In the past I have welded model aircraft crankcases with Lumiweld Alloy solder Now I have one with part of the exhaust stub missing .It is threaded to take the muffler bolts. I know I can fill the void but how do I heep the new thread I need to cut aligned with the thread in the remaining half still in place on the cylinder .I have taps etc .Can I drill through from the existing thread without damage to it. If so I could tap through from the existing thread.Is this possible do you think?

The one with the £31 bid looks salvable with a good cleanup

How are you going to get round that one .Magic Or reverse the figures 1/4 hole 1/2 in thread ?

Make sure you have an RCD in the circuit and or suitable fuse just in case you do make a Boob.

Definetly a shoe stretcher I was a shoeshop manager and had half a dozen of them of one sort or another.Some all metal and chrome plated. Talking of metal does anyone know where I can get some EB 30N or free cutting Nichrome steel barstock for a model engine crankshaft ?
