Hi Roger and list,
I bought them from McMaster-Carr, but now that I look at the
catalogue, they are listed under "Gas Welding Rod -- Low-Fuming
Flux-Coated Bronze", so as stupid as I may sound, I guess I did
weld it instead of brazing it.
To be honest, this was my first effort to weld anything with this
oxygen/acetylene torch, and I do not know what I am doing
(obviously), but was able to successfully weld, or braze, or
whatever I actually did, the stainless steel fender.
I have been riding it for a week, and it is holding up fine under
the very severe vibrations of this 280lb, 600cc single cylinder
BSA (it vibrates enough to blur one's vision at different RPM. :)
I hate to sound so ignorant, but maybe someone could explain the
difference between gas welding and gas brazing, and perhaps
explain to me just what I did do -- sheesh, I know this sounds
pathetic....
