Hi Guys,
Can anyone recommend a good magnesium welder? I have a nascar 429 boss spider intake that has been modified for short track racing by reducing to port size, which has cut through the top ports. They have covered over the thin placers with filler. As it is fairly rare I would like to have it restored.
Thanks Colin

ok, missing bits coming back now. I meet Clive when he first got the Jag. at club curcuit Puke. he ran it for awhile and then it was off scene for along time.
Yes Gwyn you rang me in Tokoroa {1981/} for me to buy but I had got the E so I put Clive onto it ,I understand he drove it back to Auck.!!!
jim we fitted a set of falcon wheels to it and apair of cooper s mufflers and he set sail about 2.00 am for auck.did not take him very long to get home. i have some good stories about that car and will share sometime
That car was quite used to the road, Steve used it as transport occasionally, we went to the Auckland Car Club one thursday club night and back to the East Coast Bays for run in, and the old toll gates on the harbour bridge to Onewa Rd overbridge was a good test for tune ups early hours of the morn.
Somewere in my memory I seem to think Dave [is he still alive/} used the motorway at Ramarama to run it in after it was born over several hours back and forth
Thought that was why they built the motorway, good trick on SH 27 to Matamata was have ute with trailer in front with one of the wheels off and down, and follow running in car on way to BP and if cop stopped say you are going to next station to fix puncture, worked once with severe look from nice officer.
Thanks Barry, All under control. Colin.Quote:
