Welding...help needed ASAP

[seanos]

My new front panel and a panel are due arrive tomorrow from mini spares.


I have an arc welder to put the panels on, question is what is the best settings to use to avoid melting the panels and to get the best and strongest weld?

I'm a but scared goin at it as I haven't welded properly in a long time, any tips or tricks to helpe out with this?

You are going to need to have it mig welded ,an arc welder touch it with that and it will vanish before you !

Thanks for the offer man, really appreciate it, its just the car is a bare shell at the minute and i've no way of transporting it

Is there any way at all to use the arc welder, or is it just a lost cause?

[Kenneth Murphy]

lost cause, was there best find someone local with one, i tried with the arc and melted my car away, bought a cheapo aldi mig was perfect for it was gasless ideal for spot weldin stuff i found, thats just my personal experience!

[seanos]

Is there anyone in dublin who has a portable mig welder, that i could take a loan of for a day or two.

I will throw you a few quid for whatever consumables I use

I've got a gasless mig, no where near as good as a proper MIG, but better than ARC. I'm in Mulhuddart in you need to borrow it, but I'd suggest you hang on for a proper MIG

See if you can hire a spot welder locally and do it right.

I think I'll do that man!

I have a mig welder but it is not that portable especially with the bottle and unless you have a plug near by it doesn't like running off a lead.
Your more than welcome to it but you will need to buy a roll of 0.6mm wire and a tip to suit as i'm running 0.8mm and 1.0mm, it may do the job but not 100%.
