The real secret to a good brazed joint is metal prep. You want whats called white metal, which is metal with no mill skin. once the steel is white a complete bond is more possible. I have an old oil filter case which came off a 1920′s blanchard grinder which vibrated like and the brazed in fittings show no sign of degradation or cracking and I plan on using it as an oil cooler/filter/capacity augmenter, old brass and all.

You might be surprised to know that brazing, (the use of brass to join two pieces of metal) is used on all kinds of stuff in the automotive industry. I used to build Jeeps, and brass was used to braze the junction of the a post and the roof!! One of the most stressed areas on a car body. With proper prep, a brazed joint will hold up far better than as JB weld (a resin catalyst product) which is used as body filler sometimes when a part is to be powder coated. It is for sure stronger than bondo.
