Only found all this after i had bought 1 send my B & M off for repair B & M say the holeshot is furnace brazed well only the tips had been tig welded no furnace brazing .
We cut the Boss hog apart found the 5/16" lugs they turned off still had the tabs in the housing which with a light touch fell out our converter guy said the snout was mild steel not chrome moly & about a 1/16 smaller diameter ,the inside was mig welded like **** also out of round caused the rotor to stick when turning basically a piece of **** luckily it wasn,t fitted .

As you have found out, the only way to find out what has or has not been done to a converter is to cut it open. I worked in the transmission parts / converter industry and got to see a lot of converters cut open. I think we got to see most of them. Most of the brands you see recommended on this board were well built, some of the highly advertised brands not necessarily so. You get what you pay for: As you mention advertised as furnace brazed, but the tips of the vanes only tig welded. Well it's cheaper to do that then send components out to be furnace brazed, and the customer will never know what we actually did. Some replaced the torrington bearings, others do not (saves money), replace hubs, well not always, again saving money, checked for runout on the hub, pressure check for leaks, rebalance, a warranty (most no),again, we want to save money. Keep the costs down.
Do your research before spending your hard earned $$$$$.
