seth's dad Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Evening all My 110 has just failed the mot on the chassis, as usual, a hole has appeared above the rear shock absorber bracket and accross the rear tub support. I have removed the shock and support bracket but its difficult to get the area back to bare metal with my grinder, even tight with my dremel. Anybody got an easier sugestion to get it ready for welding, many thanks for any ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Power files are handy things to have if you do a bit of welding. The bands are a tad expensive though. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spearos Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Got myself a Powerfile a few months back, great tool. I would definitely recommend it. Also another vote for Toolstation, huge selection and reasonable prices. The free next day delivery on orders over £10 is great too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
