I've been driving my Subaru conversion car around for around a month now, but one thing that absolutely must be done soon is to get my engine mount plates welded to the longitudinals. I'd like to get this done within the next week as the Riverside autocross is next weekend and I'd love to participate.
The job is pretty small, but its a little tricky. The plate that the engine bar mounts to is 1/4 inch thick and the longitudinal is at best half of that (double-ply in that area). As well, there is a gap between the flat plate and the slightly bend of the longitudinal. So I want someone who's really pretty decent at welding to do this. Any reccomendations on shops in the LA area, particularly any that might be open evenings, etc.? -Tony Attached image(s) |

There is no aluminum in the plates that are to be welded. The engine bar istelf is steel too, but has some pressed-in aluminum blocks at the top to keep the tubing from collapsing. I don't think there will be any issue with that though as its not part of the weld job.
