I do plan on brazing the pipes together. I picked up a small oxy/mapp torch kit for $50.00 at Menards that should do the trick.

SSW, I'll post some float pics in the near future. Still working on recovering the wings and such. I too didn't care for the original wing install method KMP had. ( the rubber band and sheet metal screw(s) don't cut the mustard ) Had to do alittle modifying there too as suggested earlier in this thread.
