ok, I need to do some very extensive motorcycle restoration, very very extensive, so I need to make some patterns and get some castings made, I would need to pin and braze them, having the forge will be a great help, I hope, rather than two map gas torches and an oxy propane torch going, last castings I got from a guy were SG iron, said to be hard to braze?, were easy to machine though, so what material should I be looking for, as I said motorcycle frame, not for land speed records but will be ridden,
what iron or steel, easyish to machine, malleable, braze able by a bodger, is SG ok?
anyone know of a friendly foundry, preferably south of Yorkshire as I do like to visit a place before trusting them with my badly made patterns,
