Hi,

Does anyone know or want to come and weld two plates under my roll cage back stays? Local industry is rude and useless. Needs to be done near Bath! Also needs to be done asap!

Thanks Stuart

If I wasn't so busy, I would have got the MIG out. But no spare time at the moment, or a garage in.this crap weather.
How urgent ?
I might be able to do it in a few days. During the day would be better.
Are you in Bath ?

[180bhppuma]

If u can get to me I can do it...

[Dogsbody]

Right on PC not smart phone now..

Have you made the plates up for under the cage legs?
I presume its just turn up and weld?

I'm in Melksham so not too far from Bath.

Hi,

I have got the plates just need to drill holes and weld. I have a company from Hallatrow near Paulton coming to look this week. Maybe they can do it during the day. I will let you know? They are wanting £150 min. Sounds a bit expensive but are coded and such like!

Have you done cage welding before?

Thanks Stuart

[Dogsbody]

Hmm not sure why you need to be coded to weld a cage in, thought that was for pressure vessels etc ?
My welding is more MIG at home to put the car back together again





I will post on TT now about the welding though, £150 sounds very steep to me.

[180bhppuma]

Ur right dogs,coded os only for pipe weldeing or anything inder a ceryain pressure,I've been a qualified welded f8r 10 years....and 150 is way to expensive mate,its not a hard or long job..

If ya need any more info just let me no,id be glad to help

Cheers

[formulastuart]

what would be the rate you would accept then? I was thinking £100 no more. He is coming Saturday to have a look and potentially do the job.

Thanks Stuart

[Dogsbody]

If I was doing it, I would proverbially say give us £30 for my time and petrol.
If it's a straight forward welding job inside the car and not lying on his back trying to weld rust to good metal..
It shouldn't be expensive... Less than a ton I would hope.

[180bhppuma]

Defo less than a ton...like dog said,id prob say 30-40 quid,but is be pricing as a barra job were as a company will be doing as a official job...

Are u gonna weld some nuts to a fixing plate,then drill out for the plate and nuts to sit on wing with the. nuts facing down,then weld the plate on? So u have given ur self a solid fixing base to bolt cage to?

Or are you just welding the cage straight in?I wouldn't mind doing the job for noyhing if i could take some sizes of cage ?? I wanna make my own

Cheers

[formulastuart]

Hi guys,

You do realise he is bringing the kit and TIG welding the plate in! The other plates were TIG welded in so want to keep it the same. I don't have the kit or skills to TIG weld.

It is just a flat 3 mm plate welded to the wheel arch. This is all the regulations state. Bolting through it and the wheel arch with standard 8.8 bolt and nut is all that is required in that area of the cage.

[180bhppuma]

Yeah I wud tig weld it in as well,its not difficult,well I guess it is if ya don't no lol......it still sounds very expensive mate

Cheers

[formulastuart]

Hi,

Sorry I don't even know your name 180puma. If you are interested in doing the job I would like to chat about it. If you are interested then I can give you my number and we can come to a deal. Where do you live?

Thanks Stuart

[Dogsbody]

I don't have TIG, only MIG and Arc at home.
My set is more a DIY one so pretty portable, and I use Pub Gas so the bottle isn't too big.

[180bhppuma]
