pipe welding - Ford Mustang

[Willhelm]

Hello guys,

Iam a proud owner of a Ford Mustang 5.0 T-top. the wiper linkage caused a slice cut through the low pressure air con pipe.
Id imagine that all the rerigerant has leaked out of the system, at least on one side.

My Questions:
Is it safe to weld the hole in the aluminium pipe?
are pipe Clamps ( these for example) useful in my case?

greets from Germany and thanks for four answers,

Willhelm

If it truly low pressure then yes you could weld
You can also slide over some rubber hydraulic hose and clamp or you could cut out a section of aluminium pipe and swage on some hydraulic pipe
