  Here in Mexico we make this with plastiacero devcon, it's a epoxic adhesive with steel load that resist high temperature. Look at http://www.itwpolymex.com/english/devconplastiacero.html

  You must sand surface very good and may be make some holes to aluminum tube for resin to lock in.

  Hope help you

    I have one of these pipes with a damaged inlet.  I found an aluminum tube that fit inside the inlet almost perfectly and tried to JB weld it in and clamp from the outside.  That lasted about 15-20 flights, and now it leaks like crazy.  Is there any kind of epoxy or other sealant (e.g. high temp silicone) that will hold up better to the heat?  Pipe is used with a YS 140, so it gets pretty hot.  I hate to let this pipe go just yet.  Any help appreciated!  Chuck
