http://www.classicdriver.com:
There was tons of aluminium sheet metal around after WWII and the cry in
Britain those days was "Export or Die". So car manufacturers got the stuff as
they were exporting like mad. While restoring the spare wheel tray, a complex
structure, of my 1955 Aston I found that this material was magnesium-aluminium
alloy. Not surprising when you consider that the Mg/Al stuff was formulated
for war. My tray needed repair so I took it to a master welding chap. After
many attempts he gave up. He said he needed the right rods and his rod
supplier did not have them. To my shame I repaired with JB Weld - which to
my delight accepted powder painting !!! SO it might be that your shroud is
the Mg/Al stuff, If you cannot find the correct welding rods I can give you
a few places which may have them.
By the way, the British unions were a little hard of hearing and thought the
cry was "Exploit and Die". They did exploit and they did die. Success is
reflected in the marques Rolls-Royce, MG, Bentley, Aston Martin. and Land
Rover.
