Solo Automotive - Mazda Starter Kit.

in an effort to keep this project going I piddled with it for a couple of minutes. I went ahead and found the tank I am going to use and grabbed a couple of the backs to mock them up in the front. I found a welder but as I said before Ive never had to weld my own stuff and Im pretty sure the welder I have is not going to be sufficent enough to do the job. Take a look and let me know if anyone has ever used a 110, no gas welder and gotten the results that they need for a good secure weld?

just sittin about where they will go:



ground on the front to get the plate to lay flat:



need to weld a spacer to hold the right side up:



so is this a junk welder?



so that's it for now.

that welder should work just make sure you get good penetration

junk ...no.. but there are better out there

i use a 90 amp thow and as long as the penetrations like tod said is goo dthen you should be fine

thanks for the tips. I'm going put some time in it this weekend so I guess we will see whats up then. Thanks again.

well its not pretty but I managed to put some time in on the mazda today:







again, i am NOT a welder and I will have everything gone over again by a friend who is but I am getting better and picking up on how it is done a little more everytime I do it. I still have some trimming to do on the drivers side and then I'll do the PS next week. I've been on this project by myself and sometime you just need someone behind you telling you that you are doing it wrong. so till next week ......

no problems man at least when its all said and done you can say you did everything yourself. good luck and keep up the good work

it looks pretty close to the bag on this picture you might want more angle on the top bag braces so the bag wont rub when its in full up and down cycle.
