Ittie bittie update.

I have been meaning to get some argon and filler rod for aluminum to use with the tig. Having some spare time this week I picked up some rod.

I quickly found out 1/8 is a little big for the thin wall tube Neil bought for the I/C piping. Picked up some 1/16" and 3/32" rod yesterday so i should be on track.....havent tried yet though. Here is a shot of my first ever attempt at tig'n aluminum.

weld

I/C piping and water/air I/C install to follow this week!
