I've been a bit concerned- maybe I'm overreacting- but maybe before we weld stuff and put them on to our Ladas, we should read up about welding technique.
The reason for this is: say now you weld up a wheel carrier and put it on the back of the vehicle. If you have not welded properly, there is a chance that something like this could come off and injure or possibly kill motorists traveling behind you.
I'm not saying you have to take a welding course just to make a carrier, but just getting some basics right will ensure you have a "good enough" weld.
Hi all make friends with a proffesional welding shop staff, pay the shop for their work has been my motto. Way back in college our Mech.Istr (knormoer nickname) used to say you can damage mucm more than the parts you are trying to weld together. question? does anyone on the forum know what a "knormoer" is? rgds Spikes
