Going to have to get more acetylene and some more brass rods before I can finish this job. Too much time practicing I guess. But worth it.

First round of brazing Complete. Need more supplies.

Playing around with the tank and straps. Still need reshape the copper a bit and maybe shorten one strap a bit. Work in progress.

Looking good Danny, Don't be stingy with the brazing rod. Visualize the full fillets of the old Schwinn's.

Definitely not. I’m gonna build it up. Ran out of acetylene this afternoon though. I’ll get more in the morning.
Reworked my copper, back strap still needs some tweaking at the bottom, but we’re getting there

You will be mightily impress by 11Ga. spokes. My front wheel on my flyer are 12Ga. the rear wheel came from Worksman with 11Ga spokes. The difference is striking.

Yeah, I’m not worried after speaking with Taylor I think he’s doing me and you right.
Proof is in the pudding. Our purchases coincide, we have ample time to compare. Safety is #1.

I prefer a needle type valves in every fuel control system I have. I will photo my lawn mower fuel delivery system Friday.

That was my plan, but thinking about making them now.
Got some more brazing done today. Will keep building it up. A little mock up late last night and my decals will just fit
