I found this in my drawer of soldering stuff. I've had it for a few years and haven't tried it lately, so I don't know if it still works. I haven't checked the RS site to see if they still sell it.ally_solder.jpg

Just seen an advert for this aluminium solder/low temp welding rods. No experience of it, but it's another possible source for anyone searching for some.

Rivet or loctite a plug into the casting and remachine perhaps?

Or my all time favourite if it's a small defect, drill and tap a suitable size, add a grubscrew and stamp OIL underneath.

regards Martin

Brilliant I'll remember that.

If you only have number stamps and no letter stamps, 710 will also work. smiley

I bought some Lumiweld back in the late sixties, followed the instructions and it worked very well. I believe it is zinc based.
