Prepping the weld surfaces, proper settings on the welder, nice sharp tungsten, and practice. A good weld is where there's no black burnt marks just some rainbow colors. I assume you're talking about the dumptube. The smiley probably can't do aluminum. I'll post up my aluminum welds when I have time this week. I don't claim to be an expert in welding. Just a hobbiest... with a shop. :P

is that a steel flange plate(the jig to hold the headlflange)? i thought it was common practice to use aluminum because it dissapates the heat better, is this wrong?

I use the steel plate and have not had a problem.
