Title: WELDING OFF BUMPER BARS Post by: FATBOY on April 22, 2005, 08:43:38 AM has many people done this
any help or guidance would help cheers the fat Title: Re: WELDING OFF BUMPER BARS Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on April 22, 2005, 09:35:47 AM I was told by a chromer to get metal TIG welded if it's going to be chromed. MIG leaves tiny little holes apparently that will ruin the chrome.

Glen you are 100% correct. Tig welding is the way to go. Mig welding does leave tiny pin holes. Cheers Sarge Title: Re: WELDING OFF BUMPER BARS Post by: NO NAME on April 23, 2005, 10:26:30 PM I think fitzpatricks FC has this, if you get a price can you let us know?

Is there any chance of a pic of your bumpers a close up would be nice as I would like to see what they look like welded. Cheers Sarge |
