Time isnt my own recently but the arrival of some long awaited brazing rods this morning proved to much of a temptation 


before





After some 'Learning on the job'







Plenty more to do and it took a while using mapp gas but happy with my first effort

Is this a common method to repair damaged dropouts and other dents, or did you try something new? This looks good and solid 

[oldschoolace]

It's one way Andy. Some just drop a weld in there and grind it flat. I quite like the idea of retaining the history to a degree. Imagine how it must have rode with the chain grinding against the inside of the drop 
 There is also the added knowledge for a potential buyer of any work it may have had done

Thanks for the info Clint. 
I think I've seen some people using this method at repairing bodywork of old cars too. It looks like it's also well suitable for cleaning up the edges in case there are some tiny notches.

It's harder to build up any great thickness with mapp gas. Wouldnt want to do any large joints with it but its ideal for minor dings and scrapes as it flows really easily with a touch of flux. Next job is to have a go at the crack in the keyhole in the seatmast

Got the dent in the top tube sorted today and cut a slot into the seat mast crack ready for repairing

That's the plan. Ordered a length of 22.2 Ali to give something to braze up to

I go away from the forum for a few months and I miss all the updates on this, dickhead I am.

Great work Clint.
