Just FYI, I carry a torch, tank, solder (50/50 or 60/40) and 'acid' flux
or plumbers flux in my CJ7 'kit'. Electronic solder or flux will not
work on the heavy brass. You need the strong stuff. I wouldn't want to
use the 'silver' or lead free solder either, it is too brittle in my
opinion.

Just FYI, I carry a torch, tank, solder (50/50 or 60/40) and 'acid' flux
or plumbers flux in my CJ7 'kit'. Electronic solder or flux will not
work on the heavy brass. You need the strong stuff. I wouldn't want to

good advice. I'll keep it in my onboard welder box with the leads and
rods and air tools and hose and welding hood and hub nut socket etc.
