Another Aluminum Repair Method
Just stumbled on this Youtube vid and was impressed by the repair of a motorcycle engine cover. Its a long vid so I captured pics of the procedure. Essentially the cover is placed in a box of sand and the hole is cleared. Molten aluminum is then poured into the hole. The aluminum plug is mostly held in place by the inner edge and ragged pattern of the hole. This method might be of use in some bicycle repair needs and is certainly worthy of placing in that useless ship file in the back of our brains...
