Re: Does anybody know
I know that most use 304 or 308 for their SS manifolds but what are the originals made of?? I can weld them with MS wire but then the welds will rust and it makes a difference as to which wire you use on which base metal. You can use a 'higher' grade of wire but not a lower i.e. 308 wire on 304 or 3...
