If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.
Welding or Brazing?

Ground can go anywhere...shifter lever, tranny bolt, engine mount bolt, doesnt matter really. That said, the general rule of thumb and basic welding 101 states that the closer to the spot to be welded at the better. However,,,whatever is the most applicable spot will still work.

Brazing requires both sides you're joining to be whistle clean and tight fitting. If you can get both the nut and the stud shiny clean and grease free....which will be hard, because the oil in the surrounding areas will wick up into the heated regions....you might be successful with a braze. It's hard to say whether the cherry red steel will transmit enough of it's heat to the aluminum to do damage, though I personally wouldn't risk it. I imagine there are some experienced fabricators who wouldn't blink an eye?
Welding has no problem with dirt and grime....it just zaps it...and I agree that a weld would be more spot specific re the heat tranfer, and thus less likely to damage the aluminum.
