Scarlson saves another!

A friend gave me a Bridgestone MB-3 with a bit of a problem:



I rang up [MENTION=197010]scarlson[/MENTION] to see if could repair, and he said eazy peazy.

First we needed a sacrificial canti post (the threaded part at least):



Sam used a trimmed bolt as a means to join the new post and what was left of the old one (not shown is some tapping, filing, and sandblasting). All set for some torching and some silver solder:




Braze complete:


I’ll do a bit more cleaning up, some touch-up paint, and then some sort of beater build. Nice save, Sam!
