Re: lakester frame

[Want1937hd@aol.com]

Bill, All 15 million Model T Ford oilpans had the motor mounts brazed in 
place. My 1937 Harley frame was factory brazed together , neither factory 
bothered to do a neat job. They were massproduced with the idea of selling a 
lot at a low price. Formula one race chassis were brazed as well. I think 
speed of production with less stress to the metal is the main reason braze 
was used in place of welds. Bob in connecticut
