Hi all. I want to silver braze a piece of mild steel into enlarged hole (wear/tear) that accepts pin to connect w/clutch MC clevis in clutch pedal. Has anyone used this type of MAPP setup? http://hand-tools.hardwarestore.com/69-407-torch-accessories/enzymatic-mapp-gas-121244.aspx Need to know if enough "juice" to heat the 3/16" material at hole in pedal. Would consider small 110 V MIG, but don't think working in basement with welder a good idea. Besides I've never used one, and am more familiar with brazing. Spending repair quote of "we'll try to keep it under $70", on a possibly useful tool, seems a better idea. This would also keep me from using a single burner stove element along with propane torch....... yes I've succesfully , though ignorantly, done it.
