I've been told to go careful fully welding it in one go ?....the heat distorts it .....Stitch weld it & let it cool down...then move to other parts ..then fully welded finally |

I reccomend arc welding it as it struggles less with the rust and oil that gets trapped in the layers of spot welded metal.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I had this problem with my mig, despite cleaning it thoroughly the oil and crap between the 2 sheets of metal were a real headache when welding it. Only thing I could think would be to acid dip it but not really worth it for most i doubt. But I stich welded mine, 90% of the strength, but only half the extra weight of the weld. ________________________________________ Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 1Oulton Park in a BTCC 306 vid 2 Lap of the 'ring |
