Subject: Re: Aluminium body cracks
I would imagine there is the ash frame under the area forming the opening for the sun roof? In fact he mentions gluing it to the wooden frame. If this is the case it wouldn't be possible to get any aluminium behind. Unless there is steel edging underneath there probably isn't any corrosion? If there is corrosion I would cut it out back to sound metal and TIG or MIG a patch in. Gas welding will probably burn the ash excessively.
