Post Probably a dumb question
Can I braze (usin mapp) or JBWeld a steel cav plate onto an aluminum longtail?

No. Aluminum and steel will not mix.

You could bolt aluminum angle iron to the cavitation plate and weld it to the frame.

You might be just as well off getting a pipe repair clamp and welding the cavitation plate to that.

What kind of long tail do you have?

It's a homemade aluminum one, and after a 45 min ride each way hunting this weekend I realized that a cav plate would make my life a lot easier.

I have a godevil 23 longtail and I can almost let go of it running down the canal. Cav plate is the way to go..
You might be able to find a two piece shaft collar to clamp around your pipe, cav plate can be welded to that.
Is your pipe aluminum? Just find a fab shop and have a aluminum plate welded to it.
