I have a recommendation and I’m not a magician I can weld but if you want to prevent the warpage to the bent V Clamp or warped. Get yourself a set of these or even just one these are great and work. Where I’m at I don’t have room for my Tig Welder Setup. I’m welding my V band clamps with oxygen and acetylene welding torch. Quick shout out to Kent at TM technologies he got me hooked on this type of welding. It used to be all there was before MIG & TIG stick anyway yes I’m using oxygen and acetylene and welding stainless steel aluminum do you have to use a shielding flux for the backside of the world in the front side of the world as well if you use oxygen and settling to achieve your welds. But the point of my comment is these adapters will pull the heat away from what you’re welding and there’s two companies that I know of that make them check it out. Not sure I just started watching your videos do you back purge meaning do you shield the backside of your weld when you’re welding on stainless steel otherwise you’ll get weldcontamination from oxygen. I’m not picking apart what you did I’m just trying to help . Check out the cooling flanges they make them in copper and aluminum oh I just realized I can’t add a picture here I thought I could share a picture in the comment section. My bad so in order to check it out you’re gonna need to go to strictly modified.net it is a V band that has a aluminum block hooked to it to act as a heat sink and take the heat away from what you’re trying to weld. And the other company that makes them is Ticon industries they’re called Ticon Chill Blocks. They really do work amazing plus you can use either one and back purge your stainless steel so you don’t end up with an oxide layer on the inside of your weld and a crack just like you would use a trailing gas TIG torch adapter so you can just keep welding the trailer and shield keeps the argon over top of the still hot stainless or aluminum or whatever you’re welding so you can keep it moving rock these V-band blocks take the heat that you’re putting into the metal away so it doesn’t worp. I use talk to text and I know that was long I’m gonna shorten it up a little bit now I apologize but you won’t be sorry that you read what I just wrote and you won’t be sorry if you try one of these blocks I went with strictly modified you will see why not saying Ticon doesn’t make good stuff because theirs are a work of art .
My suggestion from the aircraft industry. Take a rubber mallet when putting them on and tap on it. Don’t beat it. Go around it tighten. Go around it tighten go around it tighten. You’ll get at least a half inch of bolt travel.
old garret turbos used the flat vbands, they have copper and composite gaskets for them . they are about 9 bucks each. permatex is not such a hot idea if using oxygen sensors.
I do understand not everybody has the money to spend on specialized equipment but that’s actually not a lot of money to pay for the job knowing it’s gonna be done right each time check them out. I don’t get paid nothing for telling you I’m just telling you so you and your viewers know. I use V band clamps that have a machined groove one’s male one’s female so the belt sander way would not help me . There is even another guy using two female clamps and he sells a copper ring that when you tighten up to be bandit squashes between the 2. But let me tell you get yourself one of those cool I went with strictly modified because of the price difference and it’s often as I’m gonna do it which is not too often. Let me know what you think
Excellent idea with the belt sander

I was think about doing this with mine but wasn't sure I guess I'm gonna give it a go now
Great tip! Thanks for sharing!!

Awesome video man. How is that tig welder is working out so far?
Works GREAT
This guy right here.. Sub, Like, Share.. Real work by a real dude!
You and Gabe are the real ones!!
Great content man!
@@gabethompson9954 my main man GABE!

Would regular red RTV work? The one without the cooper?
Uhh yeah that sealant didn’t work whatsoever that shit turned to dust
