Brazing a motorcycle petrol tank

[Mr shiney]

Nice.
Wish I'd kept mine, now.
It had the most hideously uncomfortable seat of any bike I ever owned, though.

That's not changed!!

ps stuck for brazing flux just nip along to a chemist and get a box of borax itl do for most ferrous stuff anyway

Is that for definite because I was under the impression that borax is frowned on over here. In the US its sold with laundry products but i've not been able to get it here.

Borax is harder to find that it used to be, but ebay has no shortage. Ignore lab quality stuff, it's overpriced for what we need it for; there's plenty of cheaper available.
