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.
