i MUY CALIENTE ! i NO ME GUSTA !

Oh snap! Walt, now every time I hit the brakes hard there'll be a little voice in my head that says......"silver is no bueno for brake bosses", that to go along with all the other scarry voices in my head. Thanks for the input............... :madman:

it's ok as long as you didn't also silver braze the front brakes. :innocent:

Is that first picture the finished braze?

That's it..................

Well, it is amazing what a little braze can do but I would say that optimally that fillet should have been bigger.

I build up a fillet around things like this in silver. It looks better and give more reinforcement. BTW I typically use bronze for brake studs. I have silvered them when attaching chrome for repairs only. Also some stainless bits.

You have inadequate wetting too in a spot on the left hand side. You should see a little fillet on the inside too.

Ah, it's only a rear brake. Won't kill you if it lets go

Have fun.

Thanks for the pointers..........:thumbsup: I'll keep my fingers crossed and if/when they break off, I'll be sure to use brass next time.
