I just sent the following message to the vintage net and the Sunbeam net. Then it occurred to me that from time to time you may have need to order parts from...
Chris, Thanks for the info. I would write offnet but you didn't include your email address. While I no longer race an Alpine, I have many friends who do, and...
Can anyone identify my chassis welds on the 51? I am under the assumption that it was bronze welded like most Archer stuff, but I guess I don't know that for...
*The Arch Motors gas welds were adhesion welds and the filler material is nickel-bronze. If there is any fusion welding, I don't know about it. The rod used...
Thanks Tony. I've read all about bronze welding over the years, just never done it. It is my understanding that the bronze alloy used now has more nickel in...
Andrew, On this side of the pond, Allstate 11 is the closest to the English nickel-bronze that you can get. I don't think that Calor is still in business....
John/ Tony et al: The Gas Flux Company is in the Cleveland Ohio area and I found them at a trade show several years ago. They make the gas fluxer that I...
The welder at my shop had one of those gas-fluxer mixer bottles, but he used the paste usually. Probably only because he was never doing large brazing jobs...
Roger, Do you remember(or can you check)which of the brazing rods they gave you samples of? There are three listed in their "Brazing Alloys"; C- 04 Nickel...
Everyone seems to be going off in their own direction on the nickel-bronze welding and that's great; we're sure to learn something. I've not cared about the...
Tony, I look at it this way, if we have the "same product", we have the same strength. The Allstate 11 lists strength at 85,000 PSI, Gas Flux lists their...
First of all, this is probably the best thread on this topic I've ever seen, warmest regards to those of you contributing obscure knowledge! 13 some years ago...
John/ Tony, First off, let me say i am home on medical leave, can't lift more than 10#, so I am restricted to what I can and can't find in my den/ library. I...
Mike, Roger and especially John: Send me snail addresses and I will send each of you a few sticks of the Arch Motors original Calor Bronzecraft #3 for...
Roger, No worries and my apogogies, I had no idea that you were on the "down". Please take it easy and a speedy recovery to you. Are the doctors going to let...

I have created a folder in the files section for items relating to Nickel bronze welding. The first item I placed in there is the Murex catalog, in .pdf...
From a search this morning using "RBCuZn-D, rod", in Yahoo, it appears that we have a number of "proper" nickel bronze rods available on this side of the pond....
Rob, Not at this time. I haven't commited any entries, yet. With the global situation, as it is, and fuel cost and supply issues, I may end up bagging the...
That is very understandable, regular fuel here is $1.10 a litre right now with 110 race running at $3.30. If any of your members are going to take in the Mt....
Turned the UK spec for their BS 1453: 1972: C5 welding rod at: http://www.cda.org.uk/megab2/general/pub130/table14-bs.html The spec is exactly the same as the...
We are about ready to repaint and have soem questions. Since the 61 is a race car not a show car, I am getting to fields of thought. One is to use a single...
Here is a dumb question. What do you do toget the bottom fibreglass piece off the car? I can't find any attachment bolts. It seems to be a slip on...can that...
It just clips on the upper frame rail. You'll need to have the car in the air to provide the necessary space to maneuver the body out from under the car. If I...
Brent, Yes, the undertray 'snaps over' the top frame tubes. With the car on stands (you'll need about a foot or so of clearance under it) lift up on the bottom...
