Subject:      MAPP for brazing? (repair enlarged hole in Vanagon clutch pedal)
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed


Hi all.


I want to silver braze a piece of mild steel into enlarged hole (wear/tear)
that accepts pin to connect w/clutch MC clevis in clutch pedal.


Has anyone used this type of MAPP setup?

Need to know if enough "juice" to heat the 3/16" material at hole in  pedal.




Would consider small 110 V  MIG, but don't think working in basement with
welder a good idea. Besides I've never used one, and am more familiar with
brazing.


Spending repair quote of "we'll try to keep it under $70", on a possibly
useful tool, seems a better idea.


This would also keep me from using a single burner stove element along with
propane torch....... yes I've succesfully , though ignorantly, done it.






Thanks muchly,
