Buy a Mapp torch and do it yourself.
A few people told me silver solder wouldn't do for brake posts but they seem to be holding fine on my bmx.You made me Google mapp torch...
Any more info on that please, link to tutorials maybe?
Would love to experiment with that on old frames (more for rack bosses that brakes, I'd feel safer to leave that to Winston)

I've not really found tutorials very useful and it seems like any forum thread etc where mapp is mentioned very quickly deteriorates into "buy a full size oxy/acet kit, nothing else will do".
The best way to learn is to do.
I spent well under £100 to get torch, gas, flux and rods and just got stuck into brazing in a replacement for the unused brake bridge on my Flyer frame. Then I made a rack that had 12 joints in it and I was noticeably more confident and getting better results by the 2nd half.
I've said a bit more about it in my current projects thread.
