Need small patch put on a cast iron manifold.
For patching, low tempreture 'Sifbronze' works. I used it for re-attaching cast iron fins to motorcycle cylinders. A guy in the same business does it the exact same way but with silver solder nowadays. That might be better, even lower tempreture used. I ALWAYS preheated the casting on a 4KW industrial hotplate, ALWAYS bought the tempreture down slowly afterwards to avoid thermal shock.

Good Luck.

Thanks guys.
All sorted locally at Invicta Marine in Chatham Dock yard.
Over the decades they have sorted more props than I care to remember for me.
