<VV> Shift Tube

[JVHRoberts at aol.com]

Nothing magic. I have soldered steel often. All it takes is the right flux,  
and a VERY clean surface. There are even brazing rods specifically for brazing 
 steel. Nothing magic there either. 
The first time I rebuilt a Corvair shift linkage, the bushings were from  
Clarks. Bronze VW rod end bushings, cut to length, and drilled for retaining  
screws.

Question--how are the brass bushings soldered in? That's a steel  tube.
Solder won't stick to it. Or is there some new magic stuff of which  I'm
unaware?
Personally, having tried both types, I prefer the delrin  bushings. Been
using them for years on several cars, and apart from the  need to heat them
in water to facilitate pressing them in, they are a  "snap" (pun intended) to
install.
