That looks much better!

Too short dang it. Making another one. I did do a stress test and weld joints held up great.

Soldering another bracket.

What a great find, this machinest square holds the needed space at a perfect width and square.

We use Propress tools and fittings for copper assembly at my plumbing company so torches just reside at my house.

Will this be silver brazed to the structure?

Will this be silver brazed to the structure?

Yes. I've been thinking about that. Keeping it square, contact points for soldering, etc. Thinking about a temporary top screw through the bracket into the structure.

 

[dhal22]

I may use permanent screws. Not looking forward to potentially melting the already existing solder silver joints. Headed to Lowe's to look for small stainless flat head screws.

Lots of trial and error today. Practice run on soldering 4-40 nut on main bracket. Easy on the solder, had to retap the nut after getting a little loose with the solder.

More trial and error. Test run on screwing main bracket to frame. Already snapped a sheet metal screw testing elsewhere then did it again testing on the fuse. Vey fortunate to back that broken screw out. Hard to see in the photo.
