Soldering Cable Nipples

<< < (6/6)

Nurse Julie:
My Dad taught me how to solder nipples for my old Brit bikes. Originally he showed me how to splay the ends, heat it all up on the gas stove (whilst Mum wasn't looking) and then hold the solder on the end until it melted. Eventually he trusted me with the soldering iron (and the GPO issue solder and flux !!!) and I have never had one I have done myself fail.

Moorey:
Not exactly a clutch cable but the largest one I have done was the ends on a 36mm diiameter rope 5 miles long weighing 44 tons for a mine in South Africa.

That's just showing off! ;)

Moorey:
All in the past. I wouldn't want to play with that stuff these days, its just too dam heavy. Clutch cables are plenty big enough.  ;)
