Hello again it never stops round here, Well it does I broke my welder last night so sacked it early,
Went to the shop today and got a Teflon liner new swan neck, tips and a new shroud £37.50 later and my welder is as good as new.
So had a good night tonight even though there were a few problems to overcome.
Started of welding a new nut in here as the bolt sheared of during the strip down
Then onto these sheared bolts - 3 in this piece
When I ground out the old studs I discovered a split in one end and a rusted through top plate at the other -
So I set about with my welder and built it back up again
It's probably stronger than new now
Onto this little beauty
2 problems, firstly it hits the ground on speed bumps and secondly its been used as a jacking point - great place to jack from but it bends the bars!!
So I thought I would add a plate to act as a skid pan and use as a stronger jacking point. Cut some heavy weight plates from some metal I acquired on my travels.
Clamped them in place and back on the welder
Finished modification
Then over to the body shop (I know it's just a tarpaulin I hang round the wall but it sounds cool)
Primer coat
That's all folks ...............
