Hello all.
I have been floating around these parts for a while now after buying an old mini and following a link here on how to build a body roller to tip the car on its side.
I then got side tracked by the fact that I MAY not be as carp at welding as I first thought after reading the problems that others have had with the SIP units ie, wire speed/tension and the likes.(yes a bad workman always blames his tools,blah,bla,blah
)
Sooooo....I now have a nice new 185 portamig from Steve(weldquip) and if I still cant weld he has sold me a dud machine
I have some questions that I need answers too while im here.
1; what size of wire should I use for car repair...0.6mm ?
2: If it is 0.6mm for the car can I use the same wire for welding up the
car body roller?(basicaly scaffold pipe thickness)
3:What guages do I have to buy for the big gas bottles
Yip, I think thats all the questions at the mo.
BTW....Machine Mart in Dundee have there VAT free day on CLARKE products this Sunday from 10am to 4pm just in case anyone is interested
