The San Fran Van

[fife t4 new]

Some of these welders have weird configurations for the power settings, you might find that 2 min is in between 1 min and 1max

I'll give it a try. Sure I've still got the instructions tae. I've tried every setting at some point. I've not just done the van/car since getting the welder. I've welded brackets on my mate Big Kevs container to hold a wooden wall plate for trusses. That was setting 2max. I've also welded additional spindles in a staircase handrail/banister to confirm with letting regulations. It's a handy tool.

Some more done over the weekend. Not as much as I would've liked. As the weather was braw first job was to tackle the sliding door rubber seal strip. As you can see, like the rest of my van it's rotten I got all the rot cut out and cleaned up and replacement metal put in for the seal strip to spot to. then I welded in the left hand side of the panel. Cleaned up pretty good. I gave everything a couple of coats of hydrate 80 and zinc primer. I didn't bother welding in the right side anymore than the actual seal bit. When I was cleaning the b pillar up I uncovered a previous shitty repair so I'm gonna order replacement panels for b pillar and drivers step. I know I'll need new wings. Mine is a 94 (I think) so I'll need weld on. I'll probably convert them to bolt on like Mike Skinner did. I like to use central panels but can't find their front wings. Anyone got a link?? Tonight I got finished work at a decent time so I made a repair piece for the floor. ignore the corner of the tub. It crumbled when I put the welder anywhere near it. Clearly didn't cut enough back. I was still fucking about with settings on the welder to. Whilst doing the bit around the tub I set the other side's underseal on fire. And inspired by Si. Grabbed a quick pic. stinking!! Also I'd previously asked either Fruitbat or Reg can't remember who, to recommend a weld through primer. They didn't have a recommendation so went with the bilt hamber version. I used it on the backside of the seal panel before I spotted it on. I also used it on the floor piece so I could see what happens. here's a close up.

And out of nowhere my phone just stopped working. I took a pic. Put it down on the step. Welded another bit then went back to phone and was dead. It lights up but has no screen?? Could I have fried it with the welder?? I mind when I started welding big keV said to always disconnect the battery. Could the same thing happened to the phone? It had a rubber case though? Anyways, new phone purchased after a late trip to Asda. And my telly bust on Friday Tae. Dear weekend!

That sliding door repair looks good. They put shit loads of sealer around the floor to inner arches don't they. Like half an inch.

Think central do a righthand one. Go to their on line shop on fleabay and troll through what they do.

[S49]

Right slider from Central 64.99 plus 9.99 postage. Folk sell "homemade" lefts for 2 to 300 quid.

Having looked at your posts again i take it you mean the rollers not the sill section. I got some generic cheapos from fleabay for S49 and 3 years later all still ok.
