The mig welding forum is helpful. I've been teaching myself when I've got short bits of time available using scrap metals and offcuts. There's plenty of info out there, each time I practice I get a bit better, so just keep practicing I guess!________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |

There are loads of tig welding videos on youtube which is what i used to help teach myself to weld, i'd assume there will be plenty of mig ones out there too.  ________________________________________ Goldie the track car. |

Looks like the exact size I want, something a bit lower than standard for more clearance for an air box. Something to sort out later on.________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |
