Thanks Andy, that's the only way I could think that it would absolutely work. Now I've got to go practice some old school brass/bronze lug brazing. I'm guessing the best way to do this would be to pre-miter the "lug" part and braze it onto the tube with excess, so I could use the excess tube to draw the filler in, then trim it back to the lug miter. I think you wrote the same thing using different words...
