I started welding up around the flange and blend into the runner, if anyone doesn't know about gtaw ( gas tungsten arc welding) or Tig (tungsten-inert gas) it's not the easiest type of welding, depending on materials being used it is more difficult or easier. Cast aluminum is among the more difficult. I've only successfully welded cast aluminum 4 times, I'll count this as 4 .
If I can figure out how to NOT dip the tungsten every freaking other minute while welding these angles I will really enjoy this.
I need to make a 5 axis manifold holder that I can rotate and flip and keep it suspended so I can rest my elbow on my bench.
I hope to have this welded and ported by the end of the week
