So... I am going to attempt to re-attach the windshield frame on my teener. The welder i currently have at my disposal is a flux stick welder and im afraid that this thing will just burn holes right through the factory steel. I know that mig is better but this is available to me and it is already a hack job so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) and (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) to get me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) . Any input on this subject will help.

Here's a crude sketch. Sorry I can't even draw stick people.
Sleeve the body section of the post. Slide the upper section over the sleeve and you have a back up strip to weld to. Attached thumbnail(s) |
