Daniel, If you have oxy acetylene you don't need anything else. You will need 00, 0, 1, and 2 size torches to cover all the thicknesses of tubing and tabs. Add...
Daniel, Hoood on there. I have a decade of brazing experience (mostly Chrome Molly and Remolds steel) special tubing and yes, you could braze an entire Lotcost...
Daniel I have built one using Mig and I've done brazing using liquid in line flux which is good if your joints are perfect but for a Locost built in a lockup I...
Dan, I brazed 90 % of my frame with some high tensile strength 130K psi rod, the kind that is used to attach tool bits to a tool bar. I had never welded before...
Pat, Why would you not braze the frame together? All the Lotus 7 frames were brazed and the non-metric Caterham frames are still brazed, so what gives? Esko ...
...   This graining will wick, thru capilary action, the braze filler.( Some fluxes willmake it more pronounced than others), allong the grain setting up...
George: Things have progressed since the days Gary, a local racer, built a Formula Vee using an oxy-acetelene torch and coathangers for rod. Pardon the pun, ...
Gut feeling. I'm a ticketed structural welder. I've at least tried every process out there. I've watched lots and lots of newb's weld with all the processes. ...

Pat: The authorities at Sask Government Insurance like to grab every bit of power they can. Some rumours suggest they are compensating for tiny weenies; ...
... Â Not really progressed for what we do, Learned brazing back when we had to use powder for flux and graduated to the dip in flux, braze, dip, braze as...
I MIGed my locost frame, because it was designed to be MIGed, I brazed my Lotus 23 frame because it was designed to be brazed. If I were to build a true seven...
First, Never use brazing for structural members. It is not strong enough. Braze sheet metal panels but not frames. I have own several welders, and you get what...
I wish you people would learn the difference between brazing and bronze welding. This has been talked about on many forums and is easily searched. David...
Hello Pat, Thank you for your answer. My language is spanish, I'm a musician from Venezuela, and some years ago, while studying abroad, I saw a Seven (I'm not...
Dave don't knock it this is the first proper question on this forum in months. I remember back in the day there were dozens every day with people all over the...
Rick, thank you very much for this information, I agree that using gas is much more precise and versatile than MIG, certainly the budget IS an important...

Hi Daniel The nickel bronze braze rods create a joint that is actually stronger than the steel. As far as I have read there has few if any braze joint failure...
Ed I thought there have been a few Locosts on the road in Sask? I wonder if you have the same problem I've seen in a few places where the local inspector is...
In MIG or Brazing, I find the best way to assembly is to tack and assemble as much as possible. The rest of the assembly acts as the jig, keeping warping to a...
Hello David, Could you please indicate me the size of the gap needed to bronze weld the 1" RHS Tube? Making a chassis like Arch Motors did, at Home, is it...
Generally the fit needs to touch all the way around. allowing the bronze to only fill the imperfections in the cut. If the angle is off and you try to fill one...
