we are located just south of sydney near helensburgh at darkes forest.thanks mate i will try to keep the photos comin

[waynos]

i rarely take photos at work, but cause ive got an fc i thought i better show you guys this stuff.its hard to get good pics like you would at home cause you are always busting your arse to get stuff done cause the customer is paying and you all know it takes way longer than ya think .no time for photos .......gotta get it done

Nice work buddy,i'm assuming it's tig welded,good news now that Bunnings has oxy etc now,hey!

[waynos]

Here's the left hand side
Fink,those bottles at bunnings are really expensive.they run out real quick.we have a place called gasweld in nsw. You buy. An E. Size bottle and they fill it when ya run out with no rental.there must be somewhere in Vic that does the same.

Looking good and appreciate the updates. When welding on the sub frame, do you need to do anything to prevent possible heat distortion / twisting?
Cheers, John

[waynos]

glen is doing small patches ,one at a time so no need to worry about bracing it to prevent twisting.
if you were cutting and rebuilding the alot at once  i would weld or bolt some bracing to the mounting points and keep it on flat ground as i welded and try to weld things opposing each other so it pulls equally,
hope that makes sense

[59wagon]

Sure does. Thanks.

This patch had a slight chance of twisting,so a brace was used,but considering it was tig welded and also spot welded, there would be minimal heat transfer,thus no real distortion of the subframe anyway

[waynos]

Some inexperienced welders can go to extreme lengths to brace everything, but do not know the effects of the heat they are putting into the piece,and it will warp and move a whole lot more than someone that knows what they are doin with minimal bracing in the right places, where they know it will pull or distort
