Cooling pipe.

Post by ron »

Anyone got #3 in reasonable shape? Mine has rusted through in one place. Maybe I can braze it.

Haven't got the bead tooling. Sleeved inside the rusted stub pipe and silver soldered.

If you used "Yorkshire" pre-soldered fittings on the ends, they have a beading (in which the solder is located) :wink:
