The instructions that came with my rods were adamant about ensuring a 100% clean surface, cleaning with a stainless wire brush immediately prior to brazing. Even with new ally extrusion, I suspect that was part of my problem. I fear that using the process on a used trans casing will be just about impossible. I think brazing a cast part will be a whole lot more difficult.

I'd consider bashing some plate over a spare casing then maybe using thermal transfer paste between the two? How much is a replacement Insight trans?
