So I am welding in the Tangerine Racing inner consol reinforcement. If I have the welder set on three it doesn't bite into the ear. If I have it set on four it bites but it blows holes in the new piece. I was able to get two holes filled and they are definitely welded on. However, I am wanting to know before I do more if going on the four setting will be right and not damage anything. Three just doesn't seem to cut it.

Leather stove gloves (HD sells them)
reach out and weld so that your arm is the only thing that is under the weld...watch from the side, not from under the welding area. Leather leather leather.. Get the gloves and a big piece of raw leather from an upholtrey shop...that is what I use...just lay it over your arm and chest. I have to say, I love this rotisierre...just alot easier to weld the bottom of the car. I have not used it since I fixed Erics car...but what a great thing it is. I would suggest that at a minimum...jack up the side you are working on as high as you can get it... Rich |
