Blocking damper rod hole tube - MIG? - SV650.org

Can anyone tell me what material the curvy damper tubes are made from and whether there is any reason why they couldn't be MIG welded rather than brazed?

Cheers....

Isn't braze easier to file and shape if you're blanking off the hole?

Mig could be a pig

I'd love to know how much difference that hole makes - seeming as I didnt block mine up (no access to welder or anything).

Well you can always use a good epoxy glue.
The blanking of is to allow the emulator to do its job and control oil flow.
