Actually, my shop teacher from HS told me about this factory tour he went on tand they welded an AL to steel. It was a gnarly pulsed TIG-machine, but of course the weld is only as strong as teh AL.
But i don't htink you'll have the machine, so don't even thing about it. But why an AL cap??

im sorry, but at the moment i do not have any pictures.
although, i should soon... as in maybe tomorrow, or in a few days, to a week.
what my plan was, is make a steel tube bumper, for the rear, and i wanted to cap off the sides. i do not have any steel sheet metal, but i have some stolen street sines that i could use to cap it off. it really would not need to be on there to hold up anything with weight, just has to be strong enough to hold on its self on... a 4 inch round peace of AU.

True story. Shouldn't cost more than a few bucks. You'll spend 5 dollars to save a million dollars in hassle and sanity.
Brazing is tough to do! And I'm pretty sure brazing is for using brass, not aluminum anyways.
