Solder, Silver Solder or Bronze?

silver solder is the go a lot stronger than bronze and what would have been used to start with speak to your local dunny diver and they should be able to give you the low down as there is different types of silver solder I think black tip is the strongest

Thanks boys, silver solder it is.

Dunny Diver, ha ha ha, I've never heard that one before.

I just had a quick look at the Bunnings website, they list 2 different silver solders, a 2% and a 5%, the 2% they call a "yellow amphos", which one is strongest or should I be going to a plumbing shop?
Thanks
Mike

Harris staysilv 15 is what I use for refrigeration lines, adapter fittings, Cat fuel valve repair, etc. Easy to use, and flows into capillary spaces well.

They can be a pain do 3 to 2 first and bolt it to to engine to chech after every joint the oil filter block is the problem of it must be true !

Mike I would go to the plumbers aka dunny divers or a fridgey either one will be able to give you the good oil on silver solder types as Stephen says you need one that flows into the capillary spaces well a fridgey may be better than a dunny diver as they us steel lines on a lot of gear and at high pressure as well
I wouldnt waste my time at Bunnings you dont want it comming apart one day and loosing a motor for a few bucks worth of silver solder
Ask Andrew about how he found his old D8 when he bought it


Paul

Thanks boys, I won't rush into it because you are right Paul, don't want the devil coming apart when I'm not looking!

D23j beat me to it but double-check the jig if you haven't already - make sure the jig itself lines up with the holes on the block. Sometimes bent pipes can spring once they're loosened from the block and the jig can end up too short
