<p>No, actually they were gas welded. I've seen photos of the process. The guy repairing my front shroud is using gas welding. A real craftsman.</p>

<p>A gap that big should have a new piece of Aluminum gas welded back in (if you can find the right guy) then the metal can be hammered back in to shape. TIG weld usually are too hard and crack when worked and tend to get bondo over the tops of them. I have
never seen any "factory applied" filler in any of the cars I have worked on. I don't believe the BMC factory ever used it.</p>

<div class="m_7879791060110467955aolmail_MsoNormal">I've got a couple-inch gap on the rear shroud at the flange bend. What's the best way to deal with it? I'd rather do it myself - just because that's how I'm approaching the restoration.</div>
<div>
<div class="m_7879791060110467955aolmail_MsoNormal">I've got MIG welder and I closed a couple small tears in the front shroud with it. I also fill a small hole by using a copper spoon behind the hole. When I was done grinding ithe fixes came out OK. I'm
hesitating to use the spoon on a hole this size. The metal is also pretty thin there from corrosian. I could use fiberglass, I suppose, , but I'd rather not.</div>

of the shrouds showed no sign of trauma - the filler was used not to fill but to shape the contour..</div>
