I've tried Tig filling but there's too much absorbed junk, but I have found the aluminium repair rods that you use a propane plumbers gas torch to fill holes and do quite good repairs on the aluminium. I've even filled a hole in the gearbox bell housing with them,and the finished result was...

Sorry to hear your loosing your garage. There's nothing to motivate like a deadline 👍 3 months restoring the chassis on my 300 TDI upside down in the wind and the rain,because my garage is too low to get any Landy in, which has me really appreciating working inside or at a better time of the...

If the sparkplug fits 👍

That sounds like a job to do 👍 The tools are all untouched for decades by the looks of them, so it may be a good thing to give them a clean up and service thanks
