I hate modern solder. Now of course I can no longer see to do it, but this
new stuff actually smells worse than the lead stuff, probably different
flux, and also seems to be far less good at actually soldering stuff. Bah
humbug.

I don't know the answer to your question but, if you have a Toolstation
nearby, their product 81552 might (expensively) meet your 60/40 spec.

Think most plumber's merchants still stock leaded. For non potable use.
