I'd vee the tab and TIG braze with silicon bronze or other non-fuming
bronze rod. It's easy to do, requires no pre/post heat, and will put
very little heat into the head.



Very good suggestion.

I think...think Ive got some silicon bronze. I know Ive got phosphor
bronze ..quite a bit of it. Bad choice or ?

If its a bad choice..Ill pick up some silicon (assuming I dont have any)
when Im down in LA this week.
