Not a fan of scotchlocks Regards Stephen

That's the heated screens fitted and windscreen back on Sid err not wired up yet........ regards Stephen

Your mig would do it you would only need to get gas, aluminium wire and a Teflon liner for your mig torch, it can be a pain to set up but doable, have done this in the past before I bought my tig Regards Stephen

TMS local auto parts supplier Regards Stephen

You already read it Ross........lol Regards Stephen

I wish I had it for my bulkhead build it would have been great for some tight inside corners Regards Stephen

You can pick stuff up reasonably if your patient This set up cost me £235 second hand, Butters welders are quite high end so was happy to pay this A 10 litre bottle of pure argon costs me £70 for the gas with a one off bottle deposit, refundable, of £80 So not that bad if you compare it to farming work out Could probably have not needed to bother buying this set up as I have a tig, but it just makes my welding set up more versatile if you get what I mean Regards Stephen

Bloody predictive text... Now corrected.... Regards Stephen

Gasless welding is with flux cored wire I will be connecting it to pure argon for aluminium and Stainless steel Will have a play at some point soonish to see how it gets on Regards Stephen

Wire feed and power are controlled on the gun, been after a spool gun for a while for dedicated use as you stated It has 4 power settings I had it on 2 for a quick play with the gasless wire that was already in it, welded 3mm no problem, the only problem being I don't like gasless wire Regards Stephen

No mog action today as I had a 400 mile round trip to Doncaster to pick up this Yes it's a spool mig, basically a mig welder with a spool gun at the end, have got it to weld aluminium and stainless Regards Stephen

I am trying to save a modicum of weight......lol regards Stephen

Playing with an engraver with a view to making a small rectangular brass name plate to stick somewhere on Sid Regards Stephen

Thanks Although I've been taking myself to task for being too slow of late ! I work a 3 on 3 off 12 hour pattern Regards Stephen

Rapidly boxing myself in where electrickery is required, maybe Sunday after my shifts at work this week..........maybe !!! Regards Stephen

Roll cage painted and that will do for today Regards Stephen

Roll cage fitted and a bit of finishing off around where cage goes through floor plate regards Stephen

A bit more progress but not much Cage front mounts sorted and brace across windscreen made Regards Stephen

How high does this thing lift really !! Regards Stephen

Couple of jobs knocked off yesterday Floor plates drilled and rivinuted Recovery points fitted to rear crossmember This is where I'm at today, sorting out fitting roll cage, new attachment points to make for the front, plus the addition of a bar across where the windscreen demister vents go and a better arrangement at the cross member at the back of the seats Regards Stephen

That's extremely generous of you @miketomcat ! However I'm going to stick with canvas for now and as said I may look to make one. About time we had a sewing section in the forum............... Regards Stephen

Wonder what engine is in it, something going on with the front panel Regards Stephen

It is nice but if I wanted something like that I would make it out of materials I'm more comfortable with, in this case aluminium, also it's probably lighter. Also @miketomcat has enough on his plate at the moment........possibly !! Regards Stephen

Could not agree more. Regards Stephen

I have shortened a canvas and put a new window in rear flap before, however both done with a conventional sewing machine which quite honestly is not up to the job. I have made the vinyl seat covers and backs for my 2A lightweight I also unsuccessfully searched for canvas to have a go at making my own, does anyone know a supplier ? If I can get the canvas I may have a go at making my own Regards Stephen
