the weld holding the bolt on the pressure pipe to TBB snapped and the whole thing came out. obvi

i would never even thought about such a thing happening, so i never looked until last night. what i am now worried about, is where the o-ring went that helps seal the tbb to the pressure pipe.

anyone know how to weld aluminum?

Once its welded all the way around, you shouldn't need a o-ring i would think. Welding it with

it in there would just melt the o-ring.
