Hi,

I'm presently overhauling a Rock Shox Judy SL fork. Unfortunately, the previous owner let the brake lines rub along the fork crown. The crown being made of aluminum alloy, I was wondering if it's possible to braze of fill in the rubbing marks with something and then refinish the fork crown?

Thanks!
 
You could get someone to Tig weld over the top of the groove . I wouldn't advise heating up by welding an old aluminium fork though . if it breaks it could be nasty .
 
Don't know mate depends how the bond would be to Ali plus how much stick you going to be giving the forks don't want it to just fall out after you made them all pretty
 
There was such a thing as metal filler for cars. No idea if it would match the alloy crown, but if you sanded it all it would have the same grain/texture so might look ok.

Silver solder?
