This is why you order parts...

a broken thumb lever from my Bogen 3021

I manged to get the collar off (8mm nuts for anybody that has to try this)

I tried braising it with some aluminum solder. the part began to sweat metal (zinc I presume) well before the patch rod was hot enough, then a chunk spalled off the main body of the part.

And don't walk in front of a moving bus.
Unless it's going backwards.
Then walking in front is the smart move.
