Welding

(1/2) > >>

Ridgeback:
I am about to do some welding on a mates disco. I need to hire a Mig set in Northampton but every place I call will not do one with Gas etc so the cost is going to be around £120 to hire one for the weekend when you add the gas and wire.
Does anyone know of a company that hire out the mig sets with Gas.

The other option is, I cut out all the rust, Cut the new parts ready to fit and take it to someone to do the weling. Does anyone know of a good place to get the welding done in northampton?
Its both sills that need to be done, most of the work is cutting and fabing the new bits so was thinking if its going to cost £120 to hire all the bits, It might be better to pay for just the welding.

I hired mine from HSS hire when I changed the engine in my 90. Cant remember how much it was but it included a bottle of Argon, mask and gauntlets to keep.

boss:
yah the goons at hss can supply gas but they have inderviduial depots and some of them wont have any welding stuff.
you will want "argoshield" gas the bottle should be blue with a green stripe on it

davidlandy:

Holly snot.  A reel of 0.6mm wire should set you back less than a tenner, £15 for 5kg of the stuff if you aren't in the trade.  Disposable bottles are anywhere between £7 and £10 for 10 minutes.  SO how much is the welder costing you?

Much more than £110 and I'd be buying one.

Asfor gas, try a car boot, local pub etc.  I'm told Bullseye motor factors will swap COs pub bottles for you.
