Titanium fabrication / welding

Postby greenman43 » Tue Jun 21, 2011 7:49 pm

Does anyone have a good source locally (Sydney) ? Thinking about converting my '07 10 to a single zorst, by getting a mid pipe made up to suit the Akrapovic.

Thanks,
Brian

Titanium is a bitch to manufacture/weld compared to other metals, custom stainless would be a shitload easier (i.e. cheaper for you).

Thanks Mike, I know it won't be cheap, but I'd prefer to keep the whole system in ti.

Cheers,

Brian,
Can be done, you can either do it in a gas bath or purge weld with a trailing cup.
Send me a message & I will email my contact details.
Regards,
Michael
