Lined it up beautifully and kept the chain stay and seat stay wrapped in wet rags to minimize paint damage. IIRC he used a silver brazing material (silver solder???) as it was strong but melts at a lower temperature, again minimize paint damage. Came out just great and has held AOK for about 7 years and many miles now.

Good luck with yours.
