what do u use to cut the steel and can you braze the dropouts on?

[jonasedvard]

normal hacksaw, dont need to braze, more easier to mig the whole thing, brazing is only for when you work with lugs!

i ment cutting the dropouts
but is it possible to braze the droupouts?
cuz my dad already has a blowtorch and i just want to switch out the dropouts cuz mine are vertical

[jonasedvard]

cutting the dropouts with hacksaw, mig weld the dropouts!
don't braze the dropouts unless you're using dropouts that fit with your chainstay, these two things has to fit together if not the brazing cannot be done, brazing depends on two clean sufaces to work
