Well I have been trying to remove a couple sheared bolts on my car yesterday, using my Clarke welder and could not get any penetration into the bolts... It looks like I'm going to have to try my arc welder, but this could be tricky hitting the right spot, since they are small bolts...
Hi Guys, I was wondering if you could post up your petrol pressure washer systems?
I have just bought a petrol pressure washer, but it requires a head of water above the inlet to prime. My plan is to use and IBC with a bulkhead fitting through the skin to draw water a couple inches above the...
Thanks, do you know any other reputable brands.
Looking at the reviews on scewfix, it is not worth buying

It also looks very similar to the machine mart / Clarke item, which may not be that good...
Hi there, do you have any recommendations for a wall mounted air pressure regulator?
I have a small compressor (x2) that I want to join and use a wall mounted pressure regulator to give me the flow to use air tools. Looking around there appears to be a big variety of options as the cheap...
Thanks guys,
I have checked and cannot get any of the body panels from Subaru. Looks like I'll have to get handy with a welder and grinder.... Thankfully I also have a forester turbo in the meantime, no chance I'll be breaking either car...
Thanks guys, I will see if it's possible to get new or used replacement panels. Paul, thanks for your advice on zintec, this sounds like an inteteresting and good material for repair jobs, can you post a link to the scoobynet thread?
Thanks,

Hi,
While replacing the suspension on my Justy I discovered the following holes. Sadly none of these holes were discovered on the MOT and I want to keep the car.
I would like to know any hints / tips for repairing the holes I have a Clarke MIG and a SIP TIG/ ARC welder, but havn't used...
Hi,
Thanks for your help so far. I have bought the SIP welder and it has arrived. Again I'm not sure why I didn't get notified of replies as I'm subscribed to this thread.
Anyway I have bought some rods TIG and ARC, still need to get an Argon bottle, regulator and hose to the machine (not...
Thanks guys,
I will go for the SIP welder and avoid cranking it right up... strange after posting this that I didn't get notified of replies. Hopefully you don't mind me posting more queries. I do realise that the welder is not specific for SS, but thought i'd post the intended application...
Hi,
I am looking for a TIG welder for stainless steel. I have read this thread http://www.mig-welding.co.uk/forum/threads/difference-between-clarke-tig-welders.43636/#post-482218 and think the SIP P178HF welder is a good one for the job as it has HF start. However it needs a 16A plug, which I...
thanks for the reply blackpurge.
Does anyone know where I can go to get a gas mix made up?
So to clarify Clarke has their advertising wrong for the argon gas, I should use argon C02 mix as a temporary fix.
Thanks,

Hi All
I have just bought a Clarke 151EN Turbo MIG to weld stainless steel (304L) for exhaust & manifold purposes. I phoned BOC & it was going to cost around £200 for Stainshield Light as it only comes in big cylinders.
On the Stainless steel welding tutorial 97.5% Argon +2.5% CO2 gas is...
