Hi chaps,

I have broken off the fuel inlet on a fuel rail, it was leaking very slightly to beggin with, but after a good wiggle and twist it came off.
Seems to be poorly brazed on from the start as there was virtually no filler material evident, so maybe a major underbonnet fire has been averted.
Anyway, anyone here knows of a good brazer in our region?
Pics attached.

Cheers guys,
Sean

Oh, ok. I'll give it a clean up first, get that crappy paint off it. Would help if I could spell brazing right too..

I agree with Pete, looks like a new one would be the better way to go, or a trip down to the scrappy / ebay.

If it 'has' to be repaired, then try Advanced Radiators at Newburn. They have done some very nice alloy welding and silver-soldiering for me and the results are excellant. Minimum charge £25 from memory.

Local engineering company might be able to do it.
