Re: Seam Welding & Stitch Welding	Mon, 09 August 2004 13:48

basically you want to be seam wealding the structual parts of the car, and then the joins in the chassis where the factory spot welds are, now you also idealy want to be focusing on the front half of the car since this where most opf the forces and twisting is, With all that torque, braking cornering going on! now take into consideration when seam welding a car that heat can distort things, So wire wheel the seam that you will weld and be sure to remove all the factory seam sealant. you may have to use a chemical of some kind. then, when you have cleaned it you're ready to weld, run a smooth seam of weld about 5cm long, then move to a cooler part of prepared seam and weld there, then rotate between the to as to not focus too much heat in one area appart from that, thats really all i can offer! Laos take the opportunity to weld in some extra bracing under the car [Report message to a moderator]
