Use an inexpensive MAPP gas oxygen rig to braze. Someitmes you can even use
propane, but MAPP is easier.

Subject: Brazing/lead loading/soldering
Any brazing experts out there?
I use a MIG welder for most of my welding work with no complaints. However,
I've been wondering recently about trying brazing for non-structural repairs
in
an area that is a bit sensitive to heat (area of the car roof near the
drainage
channels - I don't want to damage the headlining).
Can a MIG be adapted for brazing? If not, what about a standard arc welder?
I've also considered lead loading but have never tried this yet.
What about soldering (or is this the same thing as lead loading)?
Any information from the list would be appreciated
Andy
