Hi,
I have a track frame that has a cutout at the rear bridge. To make the clearances a bit more perfect, I have filed out the cutout a bit more than it was before, and now it's really perfect.
But, due to structural reasons, I am thinking about filling/closing the tube to make it solid. Is that possible with brazing alone, or would you need to put a custom made steel or brass insert in the hole first?
As you can see on the image, there is still a bit of brazing solder left in the tube from the previous closing-off, which was not solid but just a little concave steel 'lid'
