steel to alloy glue

I have an inlet manifold with no hole or meat to mount a small throttle cable bracket to, similar to how it is on a mk3 agg engine. Will Araldite hold the bracket to the inlet or will it just fall off?

 

I recall that normal araldite can be disasembled using an oven...
Does the stuff you show have something different in it to take the heat?

 

good question....I don't know will have to check

EDIT: 70c max any other suggestions anyone?

 

How about oven door glue or this alternative

 

Drill and tap some holes. Use locktite to seal threads.

 

this was my idea initially but a couple of people have suggested that ti would probably leak. Also there is not a lot of meat to tap a thread into. I'm tempted to try the durafix welding rods and maybe try sticking a lump of ali to the inlet and then tap into that. I did ask about the durafix stuff on here a while back and its supposed to be difficult to use but I think i might give it a go.

 

Got any pics of proposed mounting area and parts please?

I say drill an tap too.

bracket is very small 1 bolt similar to the one below



I want to mount it to the inlet on the front to the right of the outlet shown in the pic. Don't think the metal is thick enough for thread is it?

 

Get a stud tigged to the manifold.
Rather than trying to mount the bracket to the manifold - do it t'other way round?

 

thats the other option I was thinking of. how common are aluminium bolts.

 

You could try some quicksteel ? http://www.kalimex.co.uk/our-products/quiksteel
I've used it on sumps and various brackets in the engine bay

 

Quicksteel sounds like a winner. I will give that a go first before trying the others, thanks.

 

its a diesel inlet from a 1X so originally had no throttle bolted to it

 

Options:

1. Try some sort of 'liquid metal' bodging option
2. Make a bracket out of ally angle, and get it welded to the manifold - 4mm thick at least I'd think, to avoid stress cracking. Ally welding isn't that cheap though, even for a little bit
3. Make a support bracket braced off the existing throttle body to manifold bolts, and either braced around the hose connection, or on the thicker boss piece on the back of the inlet

 

could you take your isv monting bracket that bolts to the top of the rocker.
weld that to the rocker cover so it cant spin round and use that to mount your throttle cable bracket onto

 

Sorry to change the subject but is that inlet on an 8v digi? Is there and advantages to it performance wise with the single throttle body?

 

Ive got some quicksteel just not got round to trying it out. Instructions sound cool though. You kneed the putty and it starts to warm up then you have 5 minutes to do what you want with it until it goes all hard on you.

Inlet was only used as it was a bolt on option for the TB and PB head. Car is running on Megasquirt with that TB
