so, i know basically nothing about aluminum. what i need to do is cut the bottom off of two toyota shifter arms, and weld the bottom of one to the other. i want to use the stick from a W58 supra on my W50 tranny in my 78 pickup. im not sure what type of aluminum they are. its just a round rod about 3/4" in diameter. cutting it wont be an issue, im just wondering about welding it back together. i know to bevel in the edges so it doesnt get bulkier where it shouldnt (its a shifter, lol). would a 110v wirefeed thats setup for steel work? im pretty sure it wouldnt, but thought id ask. my buddy has another welder but i dont know anything about it. he says it can tig alum. but he hasnt used it enough to be any good. any info you have would be awesome. thanks max.
