[QUOTE="MrSimon, post: 245620, member: 5461"] There is a TON of info on this board about using sealers like Gluv-it, SteelFlex, 3M 5200 etc. They all work well in certain situations. However, there is nothing better than actually FIXING the metal ..... weld it!! Look around your area for a fabrication shop, off-road shop, hot-rod shop, even basic body shops .... anyplace that welds on a regular basis. Call them up and explain you need a few short aluminum welds. Most likely you can get all your leaks welded for less than $100 .... which is about how much you would pay for some good sealant anyway. Oh, if its just leaky rivits .... rebuck them and be on your way. [/QUOTE]
