I've pretty much decided to go with weld process vs pin, since I will drop engine and have total access.
Looking for a proven vendor in the San Diego / Orange County area if possible.
Yes, I know that I can ship anywhere, but I'm an old-fashioned guy and like to talk to vendors in person when possible.
Looking for the actual weld shop, not a Porsche shop that sub's the job out.
I travel to Sacramento pretty often and hope to talk to the guys @ IPB Autosport next week.
Cheers
Craig

I know a couple of independent shops that will weld aluminum. Pinning not good enough
hehe
If you're going to that length, why not just re-machine the housing(s) (drill and tap/single point) and machine new threaded barbed fittings.

I'm impressed with the method used by All German Auto to fix the coolant fitting problem.

my guy has welded mine, some of mooty and about half a dozen others.
after a few years since doing the first batch, none have complaint about welds leaking.

time to time i pull my guys to my car BS

Great viddy.
I'm pretty tight with the current general manager there, so will stop in and chat with them.
I agree that JB weld, properly applied can work wonders.

^^^ Yeah, I use both guys to machine parts for my work projects, but both are car guys and both still make a bunch of custom one off high quality parts for older cars (lambo, ferrari, etc.) that can't be purchased.
