Broke the throttle on the six, need CSOB ideas Options

Hey, did you guys know that brazing is connecting two bits of metal using more heat than soldering, but less heat than welding; a filler material is added, usually bronze. The British usually call it "bronze welding", and scads of racing chassis were (and are) assembled that way?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

Hilarious. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)

OK, here's the fun fact. Both quarters are braized to the rear panel (at least on the 5 chassis I've restored). (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)

David, Let me know if you want an assembly. Here's what we could do; If you want to send the bell crank with the core, I'll have Troy braze it for you. Or - just send the bell crank now and I can send you a replacement assembly with your fixed bell crank on it. You would then send the core once you get it out. If you want it (the repaired bell crank) replated it will take an additional week (that's what I would do). All that being said; that is "if" the rod has simply broken loose from the bell crank and there's no further damage. If there's further damage... we'll try. We have both the "Stock" and the "Plated" assemblies in-stock now.

And finally... go out and start soaking the 13mm MC nuts (under your suspension pan) and the floorboard 13mm's that reside in the front section of your pan. Use a good penetrant (PB Blaster or other).

once again, you are proving the point.

I know where the bronze is, I have restored a few.

Have you looked at the bubbling paint in the area...ever wonder why there and not somewhere else....like an inch to the left or right....

I actually asked several hotrod painters in my area, they all said the same thing...these guys collectively do quite a few cars each year...they all HATE bronze...as far as paint goes...they do use if for other things, but body work is not one of them...they found that it behaves differently than steel when it comes to paint...it does not stick the same, as well or not at all (depending upon the paint product)

Now, I am not a pro-painter by any stretch, but I want to keep away when told to do so.

I was offering Dave a FREE way to fix it...might not be the way it would get rebuilt by a pedal rebuilder, but it is FREE (which is part of the title to the thread) ...proper metal finishing and you could not tell the difference, unless there is supposed to be bronze showing...

Sorry... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif)

Wasn't trying to be Mr. Smartypants. I thought you were joking around.

Never noticed any bubbly paint.

Didn't mean to anger you with the brazing vs. welding stuff. Do what you like. You're a good man for offering the free fix.

Hey, I'm the Mr. Smartypants in this thread...

I confess to also attempting to bust a smartypants move.

No offense meant. All experiences are valid - I find threads like this really educational.
