Since I didn't couldn't find any silver solder, I used a high quality =
lead/tin solder with rosin core and I could get at it with my trusty =
Weller Soldering Gun (40 years old!), I decided to go ahead and solder =
it myself.
It will be interesting to see how long it will last. The Hitachi only =
has 85 hours on it. The original solder joint appeared to be plain =
solder, it melted as easily as my solder.=20
I'll let yall know how it does. Thank goodness Velocities have great =
big ole car batteries up front. I have tested my battery on minimum =
loads and it runs well over 3 hours. The Garmin 430 and lights are the =
biggest loads.=20
I have a Grand Rapids Technologies EIS which has it's low voltage set =
point at 12.2 volts so it comes on as soon as the alternator is =
disconnected.

Ronnie, If you are going to repair that alternator slip ring =
connection please give some serious thought to using a high silver =

Could you please explain difference to use silver versus standard =
solder ?
I see no need to do so, since silver connection will weaker (softer) =
so, more
volatile under engine vibrations.
Please explain. Thanks.
