paddles Occasional Poster Registered: May 2004	Re: Seam Welding & Stitch Welding Tue, 10 August 2004 10:46 I don't know what happens on a car without a cage to give it stiffness, but we have fully seam welded rally cars and have had no hassles with cracks forming in seams. We also welded it in one go, not in small welds to let it cool, we did however do all our seam welding after the cage was installed so this may make a diference. Agree with cleaning the seams out as much as you can though and use a little burner or an oxy to burn and then pick the filler out of the seams before you wire wheel them. Only weld from strut tower to strut tower though, 'cos any small front or rear end bingles will be easier to pull out without the welds. Interesting theory on only doing stitch welds though, it sounds reasonable to me, has anyone out there had full seam welds fail? [Report message to a moderator]
