Thanks Guys.
Tom, since the originals were welded on, I think that would infer the original scoops of this style were aluminum? Mine does not seem to be aluminum, so I think I'll have to come up with something different if I want to use this scoop. It already has rivets/screws for attachement, so maybe 3 peaks idea of solder in the seam area would work. It seems like solder might be more forgiving that bondo, more thermally stable, and less susceptible to cracks. Anyone painted over solder on aluminum that has any comments?
Thanks,
Jay
