Anyone familiar with low temp soldering or brazing?

I'm interested in building a mini fuel rail for my 240z to replace rusty stock unit on my car. It would look much too ugly on the new motor. Rather then buying or painting my current one I thought maybe I could make one. Keep in mind fuel pressure is under 4.5psi from the mechanical pump.

I had two ideas. 1) use brake line fittings and flares to make this and use a "clamp" style attachments to mount it. Or 2) use a low heat soldering method to attach mounting mounts (I would also use flares/brake fittings). I need to get some use out of my fancy eastwood flaring tool somehow

Keep in mind I only have a propane handheld torch. Would silver solder work with a stainless or copper/nickel brake line? Is there another method I could use?

Cheers. As I said before, it's a low pressure system
. The ends of the rail unfortunately have to be attached via standard rubber hose/clamps onto the mechanical pump and the carbs.
