Higgy, thanks for the information. I have a butane torch and I would love to try this repair. However, I would rather have one that has not been broken. Thank you for taking the time to try and find me a new top. Just let me know when you find out. That would be great if your friend had one thanks for the help.higgy wrote:alumalloy works like solder but is for aluminium parts. All you need is a butane or propane torch. Normal JB weld won't hold up to ethanol but Devcon of the proper blend will and so will alumalloy. In the mean time I just fired off an email to one of my Maserati guys bought a carb from me a while back and I seem to remember he was replacing one that had other issues so he may have a good top for you

PS. Where can I get some alumalloy? I am going to give this a try I think it looks fun
Interesting JWilliam,"I recommend creating a Zinc powder from a Lumiweld rod and coat the fracture surfaces with it. Got a lot of cavitation within the parent metal so a Zinc powder will fill nicely. Then accurately and gently jigging the pieces together, heat the break area until the Zinc powder melts and joins." I would be interested to know more about this process. How do you create a zinc powder from the lumiweld? Thanks for all the help.
