V8 Beast Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Just like it says. If you are able to help me Friday I would very much appreciate it. (Friday is pretty much my only day off ) Nothing major, just a little 20 minute job because I suck monkey balls with a torch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I've got my gasless MIG available if you want to use it. I'm not the best welder so I would be hesitant to do it myself on your car. Is this just for the fuel cell? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, and its going to be in my engine bay so I prefer not to mess up the welds and create a bomb by mistake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Hal Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Yup, and its going to be in my engine bay so I prefer not to mess up the welds and create a bomb by mistake Definitely wouldn't want to use my welder then. Too much splatter from the flux. If you pull it out (your cell not your penis) let me know. I'd be more than happy to lend a hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Hal Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Its been out and clean (again, the cell not my penis) for 2 months. Reading > me.

V8 Beast Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Theres an area by the outside where the regulator screws on and I small spot on the top. You would have to see it... Any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hpfiend Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 get a 0 or 00 tip for your oxyacetylene welder- a monkey and his balls can puddle with that on small stuff. If you can't find that get a henrob 2000/dillon torch... with the advantage that you can "cut like a plasma"- they are really neat- if I weren't getting a tig soon and didn't already have the 0 and 00 tips I would have one- I am tempted to get one just for the awesome cutting... I figured the guy demonstrating it was a pro and not realistic to an average guy so I asked to try it myself in front of a crowd at the ford show a few years ago- I told him I was a decent gas welder and he went for it- that alone is proof of the technology or he was a serious gambler- as if I burned through instantly or the welds didn't penetrate it looked bad for him and his customers... this was sheet metal about as thick as 2 or 3 playing cards... it went very smoothly, without that much distortion, and he even bent the welds I made in reverse to test them and it held- I think he sold a few right there on his gamble... the piece of metal was probably 1.5" max so not really the best distortion test but anyone that has done it knows you can't weld more than an inch consecutively anyhow I can't believe I still haven't bought one-damn I am going to price check those again- I guess because my 0 and 00 tips are almost as good and the gun is sort of large for confined spacing but I honestly could have wrote my name in this 1/8" steel piece he had with the cutting function... they claim it uses much less gas for welding and cutting, I would definitely believe the cutting but I dunno about gas compared to the 0 tips... that oxygen screams out of there with a standard cutting torch. I may be wrong but it can cut 1/4" steel I think--- hell for 3 or 400 bucks its a steal compared to a plasma.... I gotta go shake my piggy bank...

koolrayz Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Are you talking about making repairs (welding) your aluminum fuel cell? If so You REALLY want to have that tig welded or you will be having additional issues down the road. IMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted April 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Yeah, thats a big reason why I'm hesitant to do it myself. I need to just sit with someone, watch them weld and pick up some techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
