How I saved a corroded housing without welding.
I also chose to not weld as the coating interally is in great shape ,so I didnt want to excesseviley heat it and is a tricky weld ap.
machined , lite shrink fit and then aerospace hysol adhesive sealant appield.
The before picture would have shown the O-ring groove totally corroded away.

Awesome...

I opened a package today which looks amazing! Front cooler and something similar. ;)

Also received the MFI pump for the 3.0 911 motor. Getting closer to yanking the 2.5 for the 914.

I guess I better get some headwork done.

Dug,

Don't know if you are still looking for the spacer, but I just noticed a guy in the UK has reproductions on sale on eBay. No affiliation. Not a bad price either.
