Ronnie,
The silver solder melts at a higher temperature, and is much harder than the
lead/tin solder, it is usually used where higher temperatures will cause
softening of the lead type.

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.
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.
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 content
solder.
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.
