I am changing the rib on a BT99 trap gun. I have stripped the old rib and made the new brk'ts which consist basically of steel blocks. Of course there is some shape to them and they need to be soldered to the rib.
I spoke to a welder today who suggested tig welding them instead to reduce the amount of heat required.
Basically, he will be using the technique of "skip" welding about 1/2" on each end of the mounting brkt's. I will chamfer the edge of the brkt's about .06" and file the excess weld off and finish the edges off.
So, what do you think? Should I let him tig it, or look for someone willing to solder?-Thanks, Jerald
