Eric and Doug, thanks for the input, I'll start making some stubs with angles(60-73ish). I got all the same size tubes(1 1/8 .035) because that size is quite inexpensive compared to other sizes(at Wicks). Being the same size the ears of the fillet on the main tube are the most difficult for me, I just consider that area to be a different skill to develop, I try to look at it like I'm brazing along the top of the tube same as my practice runs along the top, probably will get different sizes next time I order. All my tubes were shipped as 4' lengths(less $ shipping), I cut those in half and make fillet stubs from one and the other for attachment, but from now on I'll start using a 4' tube to braze onto, makes more sense.

regards, Brian
