IF it's made from some of the high strength bronzes that have aluminium in them, it won't tin with solder. Check before you get to that stage. How do I know? Had some "Y" shaped fuel junctions cast and nothing you do will make them tin. Luckily I didn't machine all of them up before I found this out. Counter sink the thick end so you spread the cable strands so it won't pull out when you want to stop quickly. Nev

Hi Nev
Thanks for your recommendations and comments!
I made the solder in the nipple and it was very strong.
The decompressor works correctly with new lever.
