Rick can you explain the term 'cold welds'?

BTW, the car is looking great... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

I turned the settings down to the lowest on my mig. My goal is to just attach the tray and keep the paint burn to a minimum. The tray is not structural in the way a jack post or a seat mount is. The bolt that holds the battery is also actually in the stand so inertia from the battery is transfered there. I also don't weld the tray to the vertical inner panel. I use urothane seam sealer and bond it. The poor inner panel is usually thin from battery acid. I don't see the need to weld the tray back to the inner panel.

Edit: I since changed my mind about this when the inertia pulled the battery tray away from the inner panel and split my seam sealer. I ended up tack welding it to the inner after all.

Hey, live and learn.

Thanks for the explaination.

Would the battery tray be a good canidate for bonding using adhesives?

I think that could be done. Bodyshops bond all kinds of parts on now. Adhesives are extremely advanced now. They are expensive though. Like anything you'd have to weigh the cost over the benifit.

Didn't Mark Whitsell say he was making the rubber grommet for the drain tubes? I didn't see it on his web site.

I sent the 2.0 engine harness out to Jeff Bowlsby for a tune up. It came back while I was out of town working. The thing is bitchin! All cleaned up, repaired some brittle wires, installed all new stock rubber boots! I just installed it on the engine this morning!

Just need to complete the vacuum hoses and it's ready to install.
