Neil has is trying to replace the nipple on his Trident clutch cable
It is a new Venhills stainless steel cable
Got the old nipple off but the solder wont flow
He is using silver solder the same as he soldered the stainless steel oil pipes to manifold which worked well

S26 Flux is a phosphoric acid based flux designed primarily for the soft soldering of stainless steels. These metals are often difficult to solder due to the tough oxide layer present on the surface of the steel alloys. The effective fluxing action of S26 removes these oxides, producing a clean surface for the solder to wet. |
