Limey 242 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 I would happily lend you my MIG welder - but it won't work on 240 and the shipping would be too expensive! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

plantfit 7,591 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Ayup Ashley, Where abouts are you? I have a stick welder with cooling fan and plenty of 2.5mm rods pm me if you want Rog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Limey 242 Posted November 11, 2008 Report Share Posted November 11, 2008 Don't work very well on any votage judging by the crap that comes out of Detroit A little uncalled for, don't you think - especially since two of the four cars I own came from England - and the welder works well enough to put them back together! The welder is a Clarke - made in Italy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And as regards the teletubbies (Po is my favourite) well I've moved on to The Night Garden, If you want any help or advice re welding let me know (low fee's) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Frank 13 Posted November 12, 2008 Report Share Posted November 12, 2008 Hi Ashley I've got an Oxford 140Amp oil filled set you are welcome to borrow, or, if it's more convenient, an oxy/act porta pak. Where abouts are you situated? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ashley 288 Posted November 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Thanks to Frank and Plantfit for offers, and sorry to Limey re sharp remarks, you caught me at bad time! Had replaced rear box on the van and had a struggle, was proper part but did not fit so had to shorten entry pipe, when the impersonation of a Fordson Tractor came back I assumed leaking at the dodgy joint so would weld it, hence request, On closer examination (laying on wet road under van, hence bad mood) found front pipe before the cat now in holes worse was to follow when told copy part not made and would have to get factory part from Japan!!! Now it gets real silly, (but eventually better £££ wise) my 1998 van has a pre 93 different front pipe and cat fitted by garage before I was owner (I have reciept for£220 in 2005) so after all this messing around, phone calls to every exhaust supplier in uk etc (well not really) found I could have gone to The Valve Shop and got part for £14! The saga continues! next episode The mysteries of the Mikuni side draft carb with semi auto choke! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
