Check it out... 3 loops!  Group: Members Posts: 208 Joined: 23-April 04 From: elwood, ne Member No.: 1,970  |
I started on my 914 project and decided to do the trunk first. So, i started chipping away bondo from the inside of the bottom of the trunk and found (suprise!) more rust than expected. So, the bottom part of my trunk pan has to be replaced.
Anyway, i bought a spot weld cutter yesterday, but something about it makes me wonder. The tool looks just like this: (IMG:http://www.ingallseng.com/graphics/Prodcut_Pictures/92900.jpg) So, should i trim down the spikey thing or let it go through the whole car? I realize i'll be welding it back up so it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if it made a hole, but what i'm worried about is the bending effect putting that much force will have... like i'll end up with little pimples around the hole left by the spike (not the saw part).

Hmmm. I've got one of those and the spikey part in the middle is spring-loaded. No need to drill a hole. Mine wonders all over the place even with a pilot divot. I think the one you have may be better than mine. Hope yours works better.
