Modifying MAPP Gas Torch

[Onoff]

As well as the spot welds my Capri wings  (original fitment) are brazed a little bit at the headlamp bowl / front valance junction. Ideally I want to melt this join. I usually make a hash of this bit tbh.



I've got leads and gauges for oxy acetylene but no bottles!

I tried my plumbing MAPP gas torch. I believe the flame gets nearly to oxy acetylene temperatures. Deffo gets hot enough but the flame isn't concentrated enough to melt the braze.



Is there any way to mod the MAPP gas nozzle?

Cheers

Prepare yourself to own one of these motherofallblowlampsandthensome.

This thing is an absolute BEAST, and I use it when pipes won't solder because of water being trapped inside. It chews through the yellow Mapp gas bottles when at full wallop, but the flame tip is much narrower, focussed and gets hotter than the Devils flip flops. 

Dont turn it against the inside of your arm though, that gets the skin off quite quickly......probably
