im buying a welder to repair some chassis on my 4x4, however after trawling some sites i still have a few questions remaining:
what thickness metal should i use?
how should i attach it to the chassis, as in should i drill the metal and spot weld into place, and then seam weld in sections? or do i spot weld it on to tack it to the metal and clamp it all up, then seam weld it without drill holes?
any advice would be great, i have tried welding before but a long time ago. ive got a mig welder coming soon and would love to be prepared in as many respects when i get it
thanks
