2.5mm 6011 on 70 amps and blaze away :D

Just ordered some new 2mm & 2.5mm 6013, I'd like to try some fleetweld to see what they weld like but ideally I would need a DC inverter not my AC buzz box lol

Is it worth sticking another hole in the seatbelt mount area and is the one (undrilled) at the back ok for position, or would it be better closer to the Roll cage?

A couple of those holes are right on the inner edge of the sill section. :eek:

I did find out that watch glass doesnt like either being on the receiving end of grinding sparks or shot-blasting media :eek:.

I was going to shot blast the outside bulkhead repair, but will wait till the welding is completed on the repair first.

Friday, me an that footwell have got a HOT date, emphasis on the HOT!!!

it appears the D1 and D2 slam panels are both, nominally, the same width - 154cm ;)

ere @dieseldog69 - what do you think of splitting the B post repair section in two, from top to bottom to enable it to fit betterer?
