on 853 we do recommend that gear fittings etc are silver soldered onto the tubes).
I read that as it is ok to TIG the tubes but small parts like the gear stops are best silver soldered. :? :?: :?: :? :?:

Fillet brazing is not the ideal way to join 853. It doesn't generate enough heat to strengthen the joint in the same way that tig does.

So there's no problem and no need for faux fillets, right?
