Default Anyone do aluminum Welding in GTA? Last minute request Saturday

By any chance does anyone weld aluminum on here? Need to get a couple of small cracks repaired on a intake y-pipe I bought, in hopes of making the cruise on sunday. Thought it was perfect, but when it arrived from ebay, was not.

I have some buddies with awesome welding/fab skills... flexible and fair prices...but Brantford might be too far for you?

Thanks for the offer, but yes that's a bit far unfortunately... I'm in Mississauga. I know if a few welding shops, but no idea if they work on Saturdays and/or squeeze in a few welds.

These cast manifolds are pretty fragile!! What appeared to only be scrapes on the exterior was enough to crack on the inside of the manifold. Thankfully the seller refunded my money.

That sucks
If you get stuck for options and are willing to drive here, I'll try to setup something-weekends/latenight/early-mornings generally not a issue.

If Jim hasn't moved out of the area yet, he was talking about retiring up north.

Also I think he's out of Burlington, unless he maintains a shop in Mississauga.

Just use one of those raw ruber tales where the cracks are to seal it up and that will be good for the drive. I think one brand of it is Magic Wrap.
Then again the amount of unfiltered air that might come through those cracks is insignificant. I would I wory about it.
