Bob, I did some soldering on my valve gear parts over the weekend, for me it seemed to work best using wood clothes pins for clamps because they didn't absorb the heat from the metal enabling it to be more concentrated. The higher the wattage of the soldering gun/iron the better, mines a 200 watt. Just make sure you use flux it will give you cleaner and stronger joints. Just flux your joints and clamp them in some way and hold the iron/ gun on it till it melts and keep holding the iron and occasionally touch the solder when it's hot enough it melt in easy. I used thin gauge electrical solder that contains lead, not sure but I think it has a lower melting point then the plumbing type that is lead free. <br /> <br />On the tank walk boards, I'm sure there's a prototype that did.[;)]
