Coop, if you are welding steel, have you considered aluminum bronze filler metal? I’ve been wanting to try tig brazing myself but am mostly working aluminum...

My only concern is my lack of experience tig welding thin to thick steel. If I was going to braze it I'll just tig it. Knowing my abilities I can mig weld thin stuff better than brazing or tigging. I'm even hesitant on soldering it. I just know from my past experiences (or lack of) even heating the thin gauge metal to solder I get some warping in sheet parts. I know it's just my lack of experience and I should devote a day or so to cooking some scrap pieces,,, I'm sure after I warp a few more critical parts I will probably do that !!!

And I've used heat absorbing material and heatsinks, just haven't done it enough???

I still have a few structural spots to weld up and clean some up but it’s together. Also the silver aluminum parts that are bolted together between the attachment braces are just there for fuxtuerimg. I cut spacers to length and have a straight rod connecting one side to other to keep things square.
