    Nice soldering Scottie. Just for info, you can also clip pads of wet tissue or soaked natural sponge on the early joints so they don’t heat up as fast as the one being made. Clip them on using aluminium hair grips so they don’t get soldered to the workpiece in error. Watch out for solder paste/cream, I found it goes solid quite quickly and becomes unusable.
    Tim, yes that is a good trick to use I have used it even while brazing.

      Well I must admit I am quite chuffed with the jerry can carrier. It is all soldered up and holes drilled for the padlock which I have also scratched. The clamping bar at the top is hinged so I can place the can in later when Its all painted.

              Excellent Scottie. That solder paste. I'd really appreciate any tips on how it's used.

                Scottie, don't forget to fill the can with 100 octane before locking it in the rack....you wouldn't want this baby to run out of gas before you get it done! :tongue-out3: :tears-of-joy: :thumb2:

                    100 octane is Avgas mate - that beast would fly if that was used!

                            Might be Avgas now but I remember buying it as a Teen for me '55 chevy two door hardtop at the Texaco station! Avgas we used in the Navy was 115/145 octane.

                              100 octane was sold as 5 star petrol in the UK. It’s no longer available at the pump as far as I know. It is also known as Avgas though, sold as 100LL and contains lead.
                              Rick’s 115/145 octane is a specialist aero fuel used in high performance boost supercharged radial aero engines.
