    Wanted to reinforce the bung area a bit as I thinned it a while ago when removing the valve assembly, what does everyone think, first time soldering something IMG_20260620_153430.jpg

    As long as the rest of the components fit properly, it’s a good job!

    Cheers

    It will be concealed under the collar so it will be okay.
    The solder looks bonded well to the brass.
    Here is a 249 fount on the inside .
    I received it with the base half removed. 20260620_153300.jpg
