I'm looking for someone that can do a couple simple TIG welds on some aluminum. It's prepped and ready to go. It will take only a few minutes.
Anyone want to give a few minutes of your time in exchange for  drink, or  bacon, or  coffee?

Can't Ross do this for you?

I am also looking for someone to weld Aluminium (as we say in Europe).
Adding spools to the swing-arm.

I'd be happy to but...

I'm a bit sketchy on Alu.   Embarrassed   I'm confident with stainless but I really haven't messed with alu that much.  If it's gotta be pretty I'd need some scrap of the same material to do some test/practice welds.  I can't guarantee anything cuz there are so many alloys around (unless you know what it is) and I have no way of telling. The crap doesn't weld for beans with the wrong filler rod.

I wouldn't feel comfortable welding on a swingarm at this point.
