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.

I agree with Scottyb - no to the stick.
That's how I learned, and it's great for thick parts, but REALLY sucks on 914 sheet metal. It will blow big holes through that metal in a heartbeat unless it is backed up with a chill plate. Because the frame is a tube, you can't get the chill plate in there. Use George's suggestions for adding reinforcement and the cut the frame to fit with a real windshield in place. Then remove the windshield, hold the frame in place and tack that sucker in place with the stick. A tack weld or two on each side should suffice. Then stop. Take it to somebody with a MIG or TIG setup so you won't have to do this over and over and.... |
