Ally welding.. You'd have to be damn good :smt003
Ally welding. On a casting. Without doing any harm to the inside of the caliper. You'd have to be very damn good.

Almost godlike infact to weld the unweldable, they use an alloy that prevents you from doing such tom-foolery if i remember properly.

The trouble with having an open mind, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.

It will do, as one is for one side of the caliper, and the other is for the other side. More than likely air will not pass between the two depending on location of where the air pocket is.....
