Hey thanks!
No I'd not done any brazing before. I learned a few things right at the beginning. The first torch I got had too weak a flame. Then it doesnt work. Then good flux is important. Once I got stainless light flux from cycle design (recommended by somebody on here) it worked well each time. I think the hardest part is getting a good fit before you start soldering, this requires patience with a file or dremel and is really important.
Sidenote: I got most parts I needed from Ceeway. The prices seem like from the 50s, the catalogue does too and you order by emailing a really friendly and helpful guy called Peter. Such a wholesome experience, cant recommend enough!
