I Wouldent Soulder I Would Braze. Brazing Is So Much Stronger Or If You Have A Welder Weld It.

If you are soldering for structure, you want solid wire with no flux inside. Go to the plumbers section and get a container of flux and solid wire. It will do best for non-electrical apps. It probably wont stick to brakeline well as it is ferrous. Use 45% brazing rod with a propane torch. |
