Frederic,

My biggest setback right now on making and intercooler is my lack of 
ability/equipment to weld aluminum.  I do have a MIG welder and I know
you can use AL wire in it if you're careful, but I'm leary of the 
expense to set it up and get the argon gas and stuff and then maybe
not having it work like I hope.  

Will this Durafix work alright for "welding" up an IC core?

What I've got now is an old air/air IC core that I've cut in half, rotated
the halves, and stuck back together so the charge air is now going through
the fins where the cooling air was before, the water goes through the cores
where the charge air did before, and the whole thing is now twice as thick
as before.  I just need to weld the halves together and make end caps for
it.

I've been considering using one or two heater cores instead though since
they're copper and I can silver solder these, but if the Durafix stuff will
work, I'll continue with the AL IC core.


thanks
