Maurice: nope, sorry, that won't work. The bodies in Poland are gas welded, but not with acetylene. Some other gas that I don't remember at the moment. Last I saw from Provo was oxy/helium, plus other tricks like blue lenses & hammer welding. No welding rod exsisted for the polish alloy, so they used thin strips of the parent material. This all works for the people with the experience, but for everday repairs in this country, just TIG it.
Shurely there are alum welders in Birmingham !!!!????
