[NSRCA-discussion] exhaust temp of a ys 1.75

[Michael S. Harrison]

Dave and others,

Thanks for all the replies.  I have a friend that has a tig welder and I am
going to use him if my attempt at aluminum soldering doesn't work.  I
actually found an article by a modeler that makes aluminum tanks and he
recommended some solder =-the one I bought is from harbor freight.  I will
let you know how it goes.  It was interesting to cut an hatori muffler open
to see what it looks like inside.  I will be in touch.  Btw Dave, how is the
bipe?  I will let you know how this one does.  Since it is dedicated
electric, it has required a bit of work to do the electric-glow conversion.
The build thread by Tuny has been very good.  

Later 

Mike

Mike, I think you would have better success having someone TIG weld for you.
Call local welders for someone experienced in aluminum.

I understand the aluminum solder stuff is really tricky to use and the heat
has to be just right to work and not ruin the parts.

(For all of you out there, can anyone tell me the exhaust temp approximately
of a YS 1.75.  I am building a Xurama and the muffler has to be
shortened(tuny's build thread).  I nedd to know if anyone has knowledge how
to solder aluminum and if you might have a site that would help me.  I
believe that there is a flus and an aluminum solder to do that.  please let
me know if you have any info on that.

Thanks

Mike
