Fel... this might help with some understanding... Which welder is for me?Cool, thanks for the insight.
It may or may not pop the circuit more I think that depends on what you are welding and how much duty cycle it is pulling. I am no expert at this so by all means do your own research and talk with the pros like Jason (@reevesci ) which I have done a fair bit of to figure things out.
Just from what I have seen, MIG will give you more control of what you are doing than stick. Stick is also basically flux core, so you will have slag that you need to chip off once you are done welding. The 225 is the old school, tombstone arc welder. My understanding is they are great for larger, thicker applications (like if you were doing heavy metal repair or maybe frame repair) but not so great for thin sheet metal (like the body panels which are 20ga-ish). Most ARC welders also require a strike to initiate the spark and weld so that makes it more difficult to control in those fine motor skills sections.. If you can, and only plan on stuff like body work then a small 110v MIG should do you fine.
Yup that is what I am talking about @mcguirejohnson .... What size steel did you use?
Perfect!! So it sticks out from the body, to hold the gasket, approximately 5/8"? Is that correct?I used a piece of 16 gauge steel. I can't remember If I cut it off a piece of flat plate, or if I bought the piece as is. From the edge to the body is about 5/8"
Yessir. I'd double check how much the stock piece stick out and go from there. And for what its worth, when I weld body panels or any thin gauge steel for that matter I tend to stick with a tacking pattern so that the steel can cool and prevent blowing through and or warping. So say tack both ends, then tack the center and just keep that pattern till the whole thing is welded solid.Perfect!! So it sticks out from the body, to hold the gasket, approximately 5/8"? Is that correct?
LOL... my parents used to do this with all their cars until they upgraded to leather and we all were old enough to no better than to spill in the car. Weird thing with these seats is the headrests dont come out?! At least not that I have been able to find. Button depressed and pulling hits a block or some sort.I wouldn't worry about getting the seat fabric spotless. I've alwats draped nice gray bath towels over all my seats in all the cars I've had with the headrest poked through the top to hold them up.
Much more comfortable, easy to throw in the washing machine, absorbent and soft. And when they get dodgy in a few years just replace them. I get my "seat covers" at Bed Bath & Beyond -ha-
The original fabric on my seats still looks like new.
LOL... believe me after all the agonizing and what not I wanted to take the screwdriver that I had with me and shove it into my temple... Such a dumb thing, now hopefully she will be a little happier.great fix , when your dog is on the ground not moving DO NOT REPLACE IT!!1!
