I have removed the superheater from my 5" Manor today as a blow started at our public running track yesterday.The superheater is copper but the spear ends have perforated. It is a radiant type.

I propose to cut the endes off and replce them with stainless steel returns. The question is what is the correct silver solder to use for this application?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Just to add that of course silver solder will be no good for this job. I will obtain some stainless steel superheaters and attach them to the smokebox header end which is of course cooler.

Kind regards
