I want to put new necks into several of my gas tanks and I don't have a big enough solder iron to use. Anybody have any luck doing it any other way? Anybody use a propane torch? Tips Tricks? Thanks guys! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |

| I soldered the holes in the bottom of mine with a torch it didn't work that well. when I filled one hole another would open back up. |
