steviem Posted March 18, 2021 Author Share Posted March 18, 2021 Thanks bud I'll have another go tomorrow, the thread was loose fitting, regarding pulling the other out its solid so may put some heat on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Well they have not fallen off, my first welding attempt was with a Clarke 106 mig, i fiddled with the settings for a while and found 2 on minimum was ok , wire speed was a 6, i only had the fluxcore option as i still have not ordered any gas and regulator it seemed fine at tacking and i went back and filled the gaps, pics tomorrow once i have tided it up. regards the inner frame bracket one threaded hole is oversize the fits lovely.

steviem Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Guys starting passenger fender, are original braces spot welded on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Yes they are, let us know how well the JMP braces fit, I need to replace mine. Have you got a wood block to fit in the bottom? I’m tempted to use a plastic/nylon insert on mine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Its off, took me a few goes to get used to the spot weld removal tool but got there, once it starts throwing rust out it was time to stop, I will do mock fit of the replacement and no, there is no wood.

Chris Hall Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Before you weld it on then, it may be worth deciding if you want to fit steel spacers or wood/plastic. Not sure what others have done so let see if anyone else has any thoughts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 It all has to cleaned up yet, sits nicely at one angle, huge gap at the other Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steviem Posted May 23, 2021 Author Share Posted May 23, 2021 Any of you guys used an electric spray gun, don't really want to be purchasing compressor etc and OD is a forgiving colour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Hall Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 I would personally always go for an air compressor. It’s much more reliable, consistent and has many more uses. You can get little 50ltr ones with spray kits for a reasonable price when they come up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
