Welding help - lanarkshire/central Scotland

the_wolf · Dec 4, 2012

Looking to see if theres anyone in the lanarkshire or central Scotland area who could weld some new front outriggers onto my 90? I will pay of course and shower you with brews and sandwiches.

Took it in for its mot today (thankfully not expired till Sunday so I've got time) and the gents put 'front outrigger suspension component mounting is deliberately modified which significantly reduces the original strength'.

Well for a start its not a suspension component lol and its certainly not deliberately modified, its rusted through

.

Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

The op did say central Scootland and folk usualy tend to think Stirling so it might be a bit far north de for you.

Well if the op wants to buy som gas then i could pop down to you and do the business.. Plus some lunch...lol

I'm in Hamilton if that's any use but will travel.

I'd take any help I can get as welding is something I haven't a clue about. I'll be happy to buy some gas if that's what's needed

I seem to have probs sending PMs

For future reference I've been using a mobile guy from Strathaven. You have to tell him exactly what quality you want. I just wanted totally solid and didn't care how it looked on the inside. Kept the cost down.

I can pass on the number if anyone wants.

DEFENDER90-DAZ · Dec 4, 2012

Yep ok mate - when do you want to pick up the welder??

Yeah go for it, can never hurt to have a number like that to hand

Hi there,
I'm a newbie on here, just got hold of a disco 1, based west of glasgow.
however the boot floor, boot floor side panels, wheel arches and rear body cross member all need replaced.
I have started cutting them out apart from the rear body cross member (don't want it falling apart).
my question is does anyone have any suggestion of where to go to get the sheet metal fabricated and welded in? as I don't fancy paying the cost of the individual panel from the likes of paddocks.
I'm very much a novice with all this stuff therefore dont have the skill or kit to do this work.
Any thoughts or advice would be great.

Stew

duckstew · Mar 27, 2013
