I have a lambretta horncast that has a cutout in it that I want to fill.
Any tips on a good product?

Can you TIG? If not, you could try those ally brazing rods. Careful though, there's a lot of variation in their quality.
This video is good as a comparison. It's mostly US, but there's a few of the good ones that you can get over here:

How thick is it?
I used my knackered old Clarke mig to build up large chunks of broken heat fin on a cylinder head. Wasn't even that hard to do.
But if that's thin, might be more of an issue.

I've repaired a few A/C pipes with those aluminium solder kits, seem to work well, just be careful not to overdo the heat.

It was filling perforations where they have corroded under clips.
I've seen the sleeves used in the U.S. but not found anywhere here to supply them.

I’ll be trying to marry compressor-specific connections to one off pipes. I’ll have a go myself then get a decent welder (person) to do it when I screw it up. I’ve seen a few youtube’s where people use a big drawer kit of parts but that is quite expensive for a one-off |
