Hi all,
I need to weld up a crack and small hole in the
megaphone/"muffler" of my BSA B50's exhaust. It is thin-wall
steel and chromed. After welding, I will need to grind it down
and have it rechromed.
After taking a welding class, and after spending quite a bit of
additional time welding, I am a reasonably competent welder, so I
thought I would repair the crack myself.
I have an oxy-acetylene welder, and wonder if there are any tips
you might have for doing this work (e.g., braze or weld, what
type of rod, should I use a MIG instead, etc.). I have a good
range of small tips (000, 00, 0), and thought about using the 000
with to braze it.
This megaphone is from CCM circa 1972, and is not replaceable, so
I don't want to ruin it in the process of trying to fix it. :)
Any advice would be appreciated.
thanks,
doug
