Use of lead in a mech

[ubergeek922]

I have a sigelei 19 and have removed the magnet from the bottom switch. I thought about filling it in with a brazing alloy which is 15% silver, 80% copper, and 5% lead. Are there any issues using lead? This will be the bottom battery contact so it's not like I'm going to be licking it.

i wouldnt worry about it, on a plus side the silver copper mix should be real conductive and help with heat dissipation..

I really didn't think it would be an issue, but it never hurts to get some other opinions. I've read some concerns over lead in the coil posts but never about the body. The silver and copper content is exactly why I want to use it. I'll just have to make sure I take precautions when I grind it to shape.
