Evening all, I'm looking to permanently fix an LI/SX rear light unit onto a GP frame so that I can blend the rear light into the frame to give it that smooth frenched look, but looking fro ideas as tothe bexst way to go about this.

Obviously I know it can't be welded on as the light unit is ally and the frame steel, so would I be right in saying the only way to achieve this would be to braze the light unit to the frame or are there any otehr ways of doing it (other than superglue!!! )

probably the easiest way would be to bolt it on as normal,then fibre glass over join............
dont think you can braize ally to steel.................

Thanks for the quick reply Sean. I did think of doing that but wondered if the fbreglass may crack with the vibrations!!

lead load ?

I don't think you can lead load alloy. It's difficult enough getting alloy to stick to alloy.

probably not
what about Liquid Metal ? comes in a tube. can be sanded

Jason Frost at Absolutely Scooters in Sheffield will probably know, he's bound to have done a few of them.

is the winner
do a job properly, and do it only once

that's the best way as i think over time it will be absolutely certain to crack
