No dude, you'll have to braze or solder it. Damn, my welding books are all out on loan or I'd be able to give you some info

I was guna solder it originally seeing as its such a small job but didnt know if it would bond to together, so thats why i thought about welding it instead. So i could solder it instead could i?

as the other guys have said brazing is the best. you can tig weld brass but i dont think you will have great success tiging it to mild steel. what are you trying to joint together, i mean what are the parts, is it like a vacuum line nipple to intercooler piping or something?

Exactly that

why dont you go and get youself a threaded female nipple in mild steel and weld that to the pipe, then get you brass vacuum line fitting (if it has a male threaded end on it) and screw it into that? or just get a steel vacuum fitting.

cha-ching!

very good advice

Brazing always looks not so great , but would work.

even if you cant find a mild steel thread in NPT like your fitting you should be able to find stainless which will TIG to mild

      WGNC34 - floor mats

      By Marek · Posted

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

      All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.
