New Liner/Torch. Where to buy?

[Chris_]

Hey guys, i know your the experts on all things hot and electric, soo.

Wheres the best place to buy a new liner for my monomig 151? Are they all the same? Are there any downsides to the metal spring like ones?

And also, can i fit a new torch? the old one is getting a little long in the tooth, held together with cable ties etc.

Cheers
Chris

Erm Pass,
It's gotta be be good 5+ years old. I know they dont make it any more, it's the 152 now i believe.
Why are there different model years or something? Does it make much odds?

They've changed the torch assembly various times. Does it have a brass block inside the torch handle, approx.1.5" square, or is it white plastic?

I cant remember now, i'll go and take it apart.
I guess you can supply them then?

Any chance of a ball park figure? Are the brass ones better, i'm always happy to improve where possible.

Right, internal gubbins is white plastic.

Torch is serviceable, swan neck is nackered, torch liner is old

is your torch a euro connection, also all depends or what wire you are using as well either mild steel , aluminium etc all different liners. where do you stay ????

 

[Chris_]

I only use mild steel wire, so far all i've used is 0.8mm

No it's not a euro, only a little hobby mig.

Bump.

Any chance of a price on a new torch?
