Hi Andy
I had a boiler made for me by Swindon Boilers, and the bronze bushes are all
SAE660. I must admit to being surprised at the time, because it is lead
bearing and no doubt intended for bearings. I queried this with them, but
they told me that it doesn't cause any problems with the soldering, and they
use nothing else. I reckon that if it's good enough for Swindon, it's good
enough for me.
Regards
Ron
