  1. i think this puts to bed fabbed front radius arms or have we all forgoten the qt front arms breaking?and as si stated it is you the vehicle owner who will end up in court,as for going through small claims court to get the money back from rds,he will probably just disolve the company to avoid paying up judging by his response so far.
  2. it should do all you want easily,i wanted a hypertherm,but sadly even second hand they cost more than i can warrant spending on one,having just invested in a new oxford migmaker 200 amp welder,which is superb.
  3. i have one of these,they will not cut more than 4 mm on a 13amp plug,they struggle to cut 8mm even on a 32 amp supply,but for the money i am more than happy,it does what i bought it to do,
  4. i have a cut 40,will not run at full power from a 13 amp fuse,have to use a 16amp blue plug,ability to cut 8mm is questionable,but for the money i am not complaining,

  8. your photo shows much the same result as we had at work,but the paint sticks,the bits we did were for a ship to shore crane on felixstowe docks.
  9. have used t-wash as a pretreatment for painting on top of galve,in my experience you will never get a full consistant coverage,because by nayure the galv is not flat or smooth.
  10. you will struggle to bend it without access to a industrial type bender,is there not aa freindly steel fabricators near you?
  11. in the past i have removed the upper spring seat,cut off the rear end and fabricated new rails out folded 3mm sheet,sleaved over the existing rails,over lapping,then made up a new rear crossmember to suit,then just a case of refitting spring seats.
  12. thanks les,i have made this out of far thicker and larger steel,so it should work for what i want it to do.
  13. 28" wide,which is doable bending 1.5mm mild steel.

  15. hi all,been looking at the diy type benders from sealy/machine mart with a view to copying and building my own,any thoughts please.
