Mine is brazed with an oxy/propane set and ordinary "brass" rods. I made
enforcement plates for the tubebends and for the BB (I boxed it in
litterally). The pivotshell is surrounded by the front tubes. It seems to
hold up nicely.

Subject: [python] brazing
Wild ideas strike me while on my actionbent recumbent.
What are the pros and cons of lashing up the frame of a python with
clean steel wire?
In some wood structures ...... I've made very strong permanent joints
with multiple turns of fine braided nylon cord all embedded in epoxy.
So what about the same principle for metal?
After appropriate preparation fix the surfaces to be joined with many
tight turns of wire then flow he brazing metal into the strands of wire.
Tho oxy-acetylene is optimal for brazing the garage constructor might
find the high temp bottled gas OK and a whole lot cheaper than all the
gear needed for O-A brazing.
The wire might also be used to avoid having to make elaborate jigs to
hols all in place while welding or brazing.
I toss this up without having any direct experience.
Warmest regards to all who make pythons,
