Right now I am looking to see how much this will cost. I need brake mounts brazed onto a bike. Thanks!

Why are you brazing rather than welding? I braze copper all the time, never to any other type metal though. Concepts and heat control would be the same. What type of metals are you brazing?

Is brazing strong enough for brake mounts? I second the "what metals" query.

A good braze is incredibly strong.

How soon do you need this done?

I have only brazed copper too, strongest joints possible no matter the metal. Brazed stuff will not fail(under most circumstances), the surrounding metal will. I remember teaching guys how to braze, they freaked out that the copper turns red/orange and 'looks like it is going to melt' :)

Aaron I would do it if I still had my torch set, brazing it should be no problem if someone knows what they are doing and it will hold up for a long time.
