Re: Back after 2 yrs. Radiator question
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.

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.
