This is prior to welding. It took several vises and clamps at various places and often repositioning to get this in right. In fact, I had to trim off about 1/8" from the lower most bottom piece that buts to the longitudinal seem or else it would have never fit right. It took a bit of hammering too.

When welding upside down, reversing the polarity can help, you still will take a shower of sparks though. Most lower priced MIG units dont allow reversing the polarity though.
Another trick I use to draw repair pieces together is to use sheet metal screws to pull the parts tight. After the initial welds are made, I remove the screws, and complete the welding. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |
