Stew, sorry, I haven`t been on this thread in a few days and I`m interested in the butterfly valve. I can see how you have glued the oval into position but due to the heat in my IC engine, I`d have to silver solder. How would you solder the valve in position without heating the lot up and causing the solder in the "case" to melt and come out of line? Am I right in thinking that it would need to be silver soldered in situ? Excellent build Stew, amazing photos and good explanations. As always :bow: :bow: Chris |

You could try soft solder, what you have to do is blacken the bore in the body with sooty smoke from a candle to stop the solder sticking to it and only use a tiny amount of solder paste. Never tried the sooty smoke trick I read it someware. Stew |
