I am rebuilding the frames for my CLS's and may need to extend the wires to the panel. I have more of the braided wire from other panels so that should be no problem.
My question is this. What type of solder would you use for this connection? I have silver solder I have used for other projects and planed to use this.
I called ML today and spoke with Jeff as to whether there was any problem adding 6"-12" of wire to the panels he said that should not be a problem but in the past they had problems adding much more than that. I didn't ask what it was related to though.
I then asked if using the silver solder was OK. He said that was all they used there in the factory was a basic flux core solder you could buy anywhere.
The puzzling thing was he said he had never heard of silver solder and had no idea what I was talking about.
Do you see any reason not to use the silver on this wire connection?
