aluminum egt bungs?
Hello all. I am having a problem finding some aluminum EGT bungs for my crappy ebay manifold. :/ The flanges are steel, but the pipe is aluminum. I'm not quite sure how they welded them together to begin with, my my welded informs me that it will be almost impossible to weld the steel bung onto the aluminum pipes.
So now I am looking for an aluminum bung to have welded to my aluminum manifold pipes to hold my two EGT gauges. If anybody has any tips on places to look, that would help a lot.
Thanks

hmmm. ok. I didn't think so either, but I couldn't get a magnet to be attracted or repelled by it. I thought that stainless steel would still pass the magnet test, or am I wrong?

ok, yeah it is 304 stainless. Thank you. I did not know it was not magnetic. Good to know now. I am BTW, going to a different welder. If he doesn't know this I am a little worried.
