I've repaired a couple old Triumph bikes with regular 70s-2 and had no problems.
When I researched it I found the same answers as are being given here - standard tig welding rods.

Btw, do not use coat hangers nor oxy/fuel rods for tig.
Coat hangers do work ok for oxy/acetylene though - but clearly for non critical use only ;)

Possibly...love Monty Python. Those lads are legends.

On a related note to the OP's enquiries, I'm due to weld up some (steel) motorcycle frame mods this weekend and I've just realised that I'm fresh out of ER70S-2. So I'm going to go with ER70S-6.

Or possibly an old coat hanger... ;)

I for one look forward to seeing a progress report - maybe even a pic or two.
