I believe brake line is galvanized....your best bet is to braze brake line.

| Brake line build info
Yes, you can solder brakeline. You need to use silver solder with the correct silver solder flux. Use a MAP gas torch. There is a good article here on rccrawler in the tech area on this. http://www.rccrawler.com/tuber.htm You can MIG or TIG weld brake line, but you need to sand off the galvanizing first. CAUTION: Welding anything that has been galvanized without removing the gavanized coating first will give off Cyanide gas - very toxic! Follow the directions in the tech article, and have fun! |
