Series Chassis Welding
Miniman:
I went out and bought a brand new CLARKE gassless mig welder and its totaly ace. You can weld outside in the wind with it no problem. Also non of this Dam run out of gas. Just wire to worry about. They penatrate alot better than a gas mig aswell because you not got any gas cooling the metal down.
James.Harwood:
You shoulld be using minimum of 3mm plate, on the 90 that we are currently repairing we are having to use 2 Max on the clarke setting. On the footwells we will probably drop to 1 max. Not sure how the thing works other than it burns you!
landroverkeith:

Not sure where in Northampton, next door to where i work (in Bedworth)make protopype body panels and scrap loads, will ask for you.
If i can get some it shouldn't be a problem to get it to you.
mark.yellow.series.3:
search for 'steel stock holders' but they may only do big sheets, its worth calling in to a fabrication company and asking if you can go through there scrap bin, most fab companies throw out more then youll need. i got all of mine from scrap bins.
