[Alutight : welding alumuium]

Hi Welshlaner,

This thread has gone cold - crystallised maybe - but by chance I noticed your request while googling Alutight

"does anyone know where i can get more of this in the UK, got some left, but need to keep some in resever for raditor repairs, done 3 this year, and 1 heater matrix, it works and were pressure tested after."

At Autosport after closing on Saturday, I caught sight of the Alutight demo stand and delayed the lone guy even longer. I've been involved in aluminium car body-in-white assembly on and off since 1970, but even so was quite impressed, as it appears to offer advantages over some other methods, particularly aftermarket repairs. I cannot give any other endorsement as I haven't tried it myself, nor researched it professionally. However, I did get the following contact details :

I understand this is a technology spin-off from Volvo Aerospace (Volvo Flygmotor AB) in Malmö, Sweden, so it's not exactly a UK source, sorry.

The price on the info sheet was £40/metre

Hope that helps
