Hey all... I've got the plane down for an annual and have discovered a small
weeping leak in the bottom of the battery box (where the drain nozzle attaches). Am I
correct in recalling that the box is made of tin and the nozzle of copper? Will
regular Lead/Tin (60/40) solder this, or do I need some special solder for it? It
seems like it should be repairable, since it looks like it was *made* by soldering.

Oh yeah, and of course a good cleanup and repaint is in order back there.
Very little corrosion back there, but enough to do a bit of cleanup.

Solder should work fine. My '67 Cherokee needed fixing last year and
that's how I took care of it.

HTH.
