Interested in hearing your review on welding masks also.

PS - for aluminum alloy selection for the harley cam cover, I would tend to favor using 4043 since the part probably sees high service temperatures. (And high magnesium content alloys can have stress corrosion cracking problems at high service temperatures. Aluminum filler rod selection chart, for your convenience:

Thanks for the show of support. I just picked up the 2 speedglas ADF's today, (pics later) a 9100x and a model 100 "eagle grafik" edition. They're both decent looking helmets, each scored for under $100.00 at different pawn shops in town. While at one, I noticed a new, used ADF on the shelf. It was KT brand, never heard of it, but it had external knobs for shade and delay, grinding mode button, plasma mode button, lots o features for $60.00.

As far as torch, I called Everlast, and they've shipped me a wp20 torch on the spot! (of course, I had to pay for it), so, hopefully EZ hookup to the watercooler, and arc-city on day1 of delivery! I'm going to do everything I can possibly do to ensure it goes that way.

For the cam cover, it's an outer lip that got ground off from a bike being dumped over at some point. I need to run a bead to build it up, then grind and polish to like new. It's appearance only, so color match is the thing in this case. I have some 356 rod, and to the best of my knowledge, HD used that very alloy for the cover. Any suggestions otherwise? Or, what other alloy could they have used, and what will match up best?
