Doug, I have not tried that particular brazing job, but I think it would be much better than just about any other method so far mentioned.  However, that rotor housing  is  a large mass of aluminum to get up to temperature brazing temperature, so it would probably take a high BTU torch and perhaps a larger propane tank (like for the BBQ grill)  rather than the smaller bottles.  I would certainly try it on a junk housing first.  But, seeing what they did in the H2000 video with that stuff, I would say it's certainly worth a try.

Hi Ed and Doug,
I have been following the posts on al brazing, but I am not sure I have this right.
Are you suggesting that a SS Pport tube could be TIG welded to the steel liner inside the rotor housing and brazed to the cast aluminum housing on the outside?
This sounds like the ultimate solution
