Tubs, I think we’re on the same wave length on how to alumi-braze
the ball up, but at looking at my last post, I see I shouldn’t try to
compose a comprehensive sentence later in the evening. May have
to edit that one!

I was thinking of putting the sleeve / mold over the existing “half ball”,
sticking up a ways, filling the sleeve with alumi-braze, and hoping
I can get the sleeve off, and that the braze “sticks” to the screw.
Your way may make life easier though.

The screw is aluminum. Maybe a steel mold would be a better way to go
than brass…….. not sure if it matters or not when alumi-brazing.
Thanks!
